zilfworks's review
4.0
I'm torn between giving this one 4 stars (to me, a book I'd recommend heartily to people with similar interests) or 5 (a book that I'll be pushing into lots of hands and giving as gifts to get people to read it). I'm settling on 4, though, because I'm sure the very partisan stance and snide tone will turn off some people, even though I liked it.
That said, however, if even 1/3 of the information here is true, things are much, much worse for the U.S. and the world at the moment than I ever imagined (and I have a good imagination). This should be required reading for every American before the next presidential election. Unfortunately, Palast's tone will probably alienate most of the potential readers who don't already share his basic distrust of our current administration, and maybe some others who do but are not yet virulent in their dislike of GWB. But there is a lot of food for thought and discussion here, and it's all stuff that should be thought long and hard about, and discussed as much as possible. Read it, please.
