Little Pink House is by no means a neutral, dispassionate account of this legal and political conflict. The book has a point of view, and an ax to grind. As portrayed by Benedict, Kelo and her neighbors are noble, oppressed citizens, and their attorneys are visionary and principled advocates. The municipal officials of New London, by contrast, come across as a combination of Boss Tweed and Darth Vader, and their lawyers as both naive and ineffective. This, unfortunately, reduces the difficult and nuanced issues that were at the heart of the Kelo litigation to little more than caricature.
