A satisfying coda

Revisado: 10-31-17

The Final Dossier doesn’t give all the answers, but provides strong arguments and supporting evidence for things left unanswered and unsaid in the latest season of Twin Peaks. A must for any fans.

Decent - if just a little poorly paced

Revisado: 06-14-17

To preface, I am a fan of Neil Gaiman's work.

I think the book quite a bit. However, I felt that its pacing was a little bit off. It's extremely setup heavy, and the conclusion comes extremely suddenly, and ends without the same care that went into the setup. For the amount of world building the first two-ish acts received, the ending was somewhat anticlimactic -- for a reason, but still somewhat haphazardly handled. I think the book has a large amount of text comparative to how much actually 'happens', even more so in comparison to the agency of its characters. It is a solemn, lonely road novel that meanders much like the journey its characters undertake.

The performances were excellent, and handled the material well. Not much else to report on that aside from the great casting decisions.

A good overview despite some flaws

Revisado: 12-19-16

This book provides a great perspective into the inner workings of Lulzsec and other Anonymous related groups. By charting a through line, Parmy paints a compelling narrative about subterfuge and power.

There are a few mistakes, however, though most are small. A good example of this is a mention of hacker Geohotz -- Parmy credits him with hacking the PS2, but in actuality he hacked the PS3. Little things like this betray the author's authority in tech and the related material, making the reader question their understanding of the mechanical aspects of their subjects.

That being said the book is narrated excellently and is for the most part an enlightening, well researched read.

All of us are outsiders, but we do not need to be.

His book cleanly and positively demonstrates Senator Sanders' campaign ideology and political history, without overloading the reader with haughty rhetoric or empty promises. Let it be known, if you read This book, regardless of your stance on Bernie, you will walk away with a much greater understanding of what he represents, and the reason why people love him so much.

Get involved, volunteer for your primaries and caucuses, and campaign, and maybe America will have a leader like Senator Sanders.
