Wonderful Depth And Fine Writing,
By Andrea Sonn (East Windsor, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trial By Fire (Paperback)
Why isn't anyone reading Gerry Spence's books from the 80's? They're brilliant. This book takes on freedom of the press, misogony, pornography, the appeals system, and beauty pageants - and does it with erudition and fine writing skill. Also with humor. It is the story of Spence's representation of Miss Wyoming in her libel suit against Penthouse magazine in 1980. The best kept secret about Spence, the "aw shucks, just a country lawyer" guy on the talk shows, is that he shares with the reader his delightful skills as a storyteller, and his worldy wise observations on the weighty issues of the day. And he's readable ! Can't put it down kind of readable. I haven't read his more current work yet but I have every expectation that he hasn't lost his touch. Read this. It's really worth while.
