George and Jeff Review Disney Declassified by Aaron Godlberg
George: When you scan the literature of Disney-related books, you tend to run into a lot of of general history, travel and social discourse. One area that’s not been covered much concerns the legal and illegal things that have taken place at Disney parks and with the Disney Company. Disney Declassified: Tales of Real Life Disney Scandals, Sex, Accidents and Deaths by Aaron Goldberg attempts to tackle some of the darker and more unethical moments in Disney history. As a caveat, Disney Declassified looks at some pretty negative things (like people trying to rip off the company and lawsuits going both ways) and can change how you view Disney. This is definitely a book in which you’ll need to remove your rose-colored Mouse Ears.
