Worthy of contemplation

Revisado: 11-02-20

Not a typical dystopian novel. well-written and performed, the book left many "what if" thoughts.

Weak Start & finish

Revisado: 10-12-20

Struggled to get through episode 1 and the ending was underwhelming. The middle wasn't bad.

Moderately disappointing

Revisado: 10-20-14

D'Souza presents a logical and well thought out argument that is a much-needed counterpoint to the overwhelming barrage of heavily left-leaning information in the media and educational systems. Regrettably, he seemed to fall victim to the urge to turn a solid analysis of a political ideology into an attempt to vilify a few individuals. I am no fan of either President Obama’s policies or of Ms. Clinton’s. However, it took the actions (or inactions) of 535 members of Congress, the parties that back them, the media that selectively attacks or promotes issues for ratings, and the American voters to take the United States further down this road. In my view, D’Souza’s choice to attack the figurehead of a deeper ideological issue undermined his message and turned this book into more of a campaign speech. A solid message with immense potential descended into anti-incumbent rhetoric.
