《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评
Although Winfrey suffers from wooden prose, all four of these biographies offer some insight into their subjects' lives, inadvertently giving lie to the series' title. Occasional sidebars share useful historical perspectives, but disruptive ""It's a Fact!"" boxes contain information that should have been integrated into the texts. Black-and-white photos appear throughout. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Just the Facts Biographies tiles: J. R. R.
