Review:

Well, it was funny and very real - the sort of conversation you'd have in private with a friend. I
don't think it was very clever publishing it though. It talks about the McCanns as if they are
characters from a play being discussed over dinner - were they believable, convincing, likeable
(miscast)? When I write I think  "what would the person I'm writing about think if they read this,
do I have any responsibilities towards that person?". As the McCann's are not fictious and they have
just gone through quite a major ordeal, I'm not sure this is such a great article. It's not like the
Beckhams, where you can think "it's their own fault for courting the limelight".
