Interesting read. Never knew all that went into opposition research. This guy needs a better editor though! TONS of typos/screwed up sentences/mistakes. oh well

The memoir of an opposition researcher. He expresses some remorse for his life - I found myself wanting to be him by the end. Go figure.

I've done opposition research professionally, so this was of interest to me. The parts where Marks actually discusses his oppo work were somewhat interesting, but padded out with pages and pages about his opinions of various political figures and events, as well as his misadventures with women. He's not an engaging enough narrator to make this material anything but tedious, and I wound up skimming most of it. Also, as other reviewers have already noted, the book really could have benefited from better editing to eliminate embarrassing misspellings - Monica "Lewiniski," "Gennifer" Granholm, etc.
