George Santos Is Two Middle Fingers Pointed At The Establishment

Revisado: 12-30-23

This book deserves 5 stars for storytelling and 1 star for objectivity. It's positively dripping with liberal bias - imagine describing George Floyd as a "father" and "sometimes security guard", as opposed to a career criminal who held his pregnant girlfriend hostage with a gun pointed to her belly. Or imagine describing the oldest newspaper in America (The New York Post) as a "conservative tabloid" -- *eye roll* -- but then go on to quote The New York Times and The Daily freaking Beast uncritically. (What a hack!)

The book would be just another forgettable crybaby liberal hit piece if my boy George Santos wasn't such a G.

We do not respect your institutions. We do not respect "OurDemocracyTM". The game is rigged, the system is illegitimate, and we are sending in the clowns!!!

The Squad Is A Media Creation

Revisado: 12-22-23

This incredible telling of the rise of this mirage political force on the left was a banger from start to finish!! Ryan Grim is spectacularly talented and funny (and as a Trump supporters I literally could not possibly be more biased against the concept of this book but for Ryan's masterful storytelling abilities.) Merry Christmas everyone.

A Triumph!

A road map to a realistic bi-partisan working class politics. Excellent from beginning to end. Take care of yourself, take care of each other, solidarity forever.

Meh

Revisado: 05-24-22

With all due respect to Douglas, this book comes across as a bitter, hectoring diatribe. Not as informative or funny as "The Madness of Crowds." I recommend listening at 1.5x speed. Maybe it's just an American bias, but you don't need to marinate over your words and pauses to illustrate your point. Furthermore, I found myself annoyed, often asking, "What exactly is your point Douglas?" Disappointing.

Good Story, Tragic Narrator!

Revisado: 11-01-21

This book ties together all the information I already pieced together through casual Twitter sleuthing, and is therefore obviously superior information, but that's exactly how I surmised the Democrats stole the 2020 election.

That said, why choose the oldest sounding lady on the planet to narrate this story? Her grating voice seemed chosen almost to discourage the listener from consuming the information. A very poor choice!

I never write reviews. This book matters!

Revisado: 09-16-21

The writing and narration are both top notch, but the important takeaway from this book is how it illustrates the BIG PICTURE in how our American system works, and how dangerous the unintended consequences of good intentions can be.

The book was at times hilariously funny in a macabre sort of fashion. I beg my fellow Americans to arm yourselves with knowledge and begin to normalize the virtues of modesty and humility.

Don't buy the Audiobook!!!

Revisado: 03-04-21

I wish I had listened to the reviews about the narrator. This was truly hard to stomach, although I would imagine the physical book is pretty good. Most of the book is dialog, and it didn't really have enough new information to be worth it for me.
