Not the political story I expected
Revisado: 12-19-24
I really thought this was going to be an account of the Obama campaign (albeit fictionalized) from an insider's perspective, interestingly that of a relatively low-level staffer. What I got instead was at best a coming of age story about how the protagonist matured through the process (not much). There was actually very little about the campaign itself, nothing about high-minded policy discussions, and lots of side stories about religion, slums, sex (not at all explicit, however), drugs, etc., totally unrelated. There was some good explanation about how fund raising works and organizing of events for donors, as well as some of the less savory financial shenanigans near the end. So all in all, I was very disappointed by the story itself.
I also did not like the narration at all. Far too many unnecessary pauses or hesitations within sentences that should have just flowed smoothly.
