Has anyone else read this book and if so what are your thoughts? My wife bought it me a number of years ago as I'm really interested in books relating to Disney World and although very negative, I found it a fascinating read. Whilst the most shocking parts were the bits concerning thorough criminal background checks not being conducted on individuals being employed to work in the parks and perhaps the alleged abuse in the firehouse
, I got the impression there was a lot of negative 'filler'.
The bits concerning the alleged sexuality of cartoon characters and also the fact that the corporation bought other companies such as record companies that had bands on their labels that swore and sung about drugs etc seemed a little bit controversial for the sake of it? Many of these smaller companies purchased weren't even known by the public to be connected to Disney.
For those familiar with this book, do you feel it was fully justified a rather just a sensationalist way of trying to pick faults from the outset (something the authors deny from the start) :shrug:
