Maslin, Janet. "Sure, Mr. President, If You Really Want Me To." The New York Times. The New York Times, 09 Feb. 2012. Web. 05 May 2016. In this article Janet Maslin gives her very sarcastic opinion about the inner idea to write a book like “Once Upon a Secret” by Mimi Alford. The critic says that the book had been sold almost only because of the public interest in President`s life but not of the well told story or writing skills of the author. Also, Maslin noticed a massive lock of logic in the plot of the story. Maslin brings examples of Mimi`s childhood, when Mimi describes the average inferior farm she lived in “that had seven fireplaces and a ballroom”. The critic gives various examples on this matter from different parts of the book.
