Apollo and Thelma by Jon Faine Hardcover Book
03 April 2022
From Apollo's third son; "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story"
Review by Bruce Anderson. Apollo’s 3rd son. “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!” The cover of this book exhorts it to be a “True Tall Tale” Which is it supposed to be?? Fact or fiction??? As one of Apollo’s three sons I can say with the utmost sincerity that the contents of this book are largely purely fictional, and an absolute load of tripe!! Sadly for Apollo and Thelma’s remaining family, Faine conveniently and frequently chooses fictional narrative over actual fact, for the very slanted picture he attempts to paint for the sake of an interesting tale, very thinly disguised as an accurate account - according to himself! Despite his claim, the author was NEVER Apollo’s friend or that of his family? His was a solely a one off business relationship. He was engaged to settle an estate. Nothing more! No more than a plumber called to fix a blocked toilet. He ingratiated himself upon the surviving family after nearly 30 years of silence with the promise to write a book about our Father; “Something that we as his sons would be very proud to hold”. Sadly, that promise was promptly broken! Much of the book contains pure fiction, misquotes, exaggerations, and complete concoctions! It appears the author has a very loose relationship with reality and facts! Mr. Faine misses the opportunity to write a very good book. He was given the very best of very private inside information, photos and recollections, straight from the source - Apollo’s very own sons. He exploits that connection to give his book credibility and authenticity. He’s certainly no accurate source of information for our Dad, “The Mighty Apollo” In fact, most of the book’s content was withheld from us before publication! “Good will and cooperation” completely vanished once he assumed all the required information obtained from us had been gathered. Not given the right to dispute or correct his many statements before publication as earlier promised and assured that all of our concerns for accuracy had been fully met. We were totally unaware of the poison held within. Discovering to our horror, only once published that all of our goodwill, trust were completely and utterly betrayed! Many of our very private contributions ignored and or twisted by the author! An arrogant, egotistical “Little Man”, more concerned with telling his often condescending spiteful tale tearing others down, rather than adhering to facts and the truth! Even our father’s funeral isn’t spared his very caustic assessment! The author constantly promotes himself as a champion for the down trodden, the “under dog” when in fact his actions here would clearly dispute this as a “sham”!!?? He’s much more interested in promoting his own over inflated and highly opinionated ego for self-benefit in the form of his book at expense and distress his work of fiction has and will cause Apollo’s family! Save your money and don’t buy this excremental fictional book!
