The Impostor's Daughter: A True Memoir by Laurie Sandell

3.0

The visual part was five stars. Clear and bold drawings meshed well with the story. The story was... eh. And yes, I realize this is someone's life and there's not much you can change about the facts, but I thought she dwelt on her celebrity interview list a little long. I think what really failed me is that I didn't get engaged to her as a character or person before she launched into her trouble with her dad. I wanted both more information on her father that I didn't get, and more information on her. Some of the foreshadowing was a tad heavy-handed, as well (that Ambien is going to lead to addiction!? No way!). In that sense, the story may have been better delivered with more text, and graphic inserts for particular episodes.
