Only ignorant people would believe this nonsense

Revisado: 02-20-25

Kash Patel mentions the Deep State at least a dozen times in the first few chapters of this book.
What is the Deep State? I wondered.
I always have assumed it must surely be a group of extremely powerful people who have managed to maintain control over the governance of our country for generations while remaining anonymous; no-one knows who they are and no-one can wrest control away from them. Perhaps they control the results of our elections, or perhaps they render the winners of elections impotent, their control is so complete.
Was Mr Patel about to reveal the identity of the individuals concerned in this dark conspiracy?
Indeed he was.
According to this imbecile, the Deep State is...
The Democrats and the free press!

The author of this rubbish has now been appointed head of the F.B.I.
I am ashamed to be an American, and fearful for the future of this country.

Like a text message in ALL CAPS

Revisado: 06-26-23

Like a children's story written by a computer program in which all the characters are either absolutely perfect or utterly worthless, And have you ever heard a human refer to "Eleven o'clock PM"?

Was this written by AI?

Revisado: 03-29-23

The story itself is not bad, but it feels like a book written by a computer program.
There is something missing, as though it wasn't written by a human.
Not one of the characters comes across as a real person.
Relationships have no nuance, no subtlety. Characters are simplistic and trite.

Perhaps I am not smart enough for this book

Revisado: 11-27-22

This is a very famous book, so I thought I might enjoy it.
I have been unable to find anything interesting in it at all. There are substantial passages read entirely in Latin, which tried my patience, in general the subject matter was very dry.
If you enjoy the short excerpt that Audible presents as a sample, then you are probably capable of enjoying the book.

Simple minded rubbish

Revisado: 10-25-22

I thought this might be a daring, imaginative and nuanced criticism of books we have come to respect, but I was mistaken.

The writer seems to think that atheism is the root cause of all that is wrong with the world and, well, he might have a point. After all, it was fanatical atheists who flew planes into the World Trade Center; devout atheists who perpetrated the Spanish Inquisition; and nowadays it's fundamentalist atheists who are such an important part of Donald Trump's following.

I wonder if Mr Wilker even read the books he is writing about. I don't see any evidence that he did.

Not much of a story

Revisado: 06-16-20

Poorly written, uninteresting story that spent too long dwelling on the uninteresting lives of the main character and her annoying child.

The terrifying truth

Revisado: 10-08-18

A profoundly important book that explains how "Libertarians" have plotted to undermine democracy in America.

Like listening to a government report

Revisado: 06-04-14

The book is very dry, almost completely lacking in any interesting anecdotes about the characters involved. It would have made an interesting magazine article.
If this is a subject of special interest to you and especially if you are familiar with the names of the people involved, then it may well satisfy you.

War might be hell, but it is also boring

Revisado: 03-31-14

What would have made Street Without Joy better?

This is the story of the French fighting the Viet Minh, battle by battle. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. There are endless descriptions of military maneuvers and engagements, with place names that mean very little to me. After three or four I just lost interest.

Nothing new here

Revisado: 02-02-14

Would you try another book from Darren Reynolds and/or Diane Sawyer?

It;s my fault for wanting to revisit that extraordinary moment when I've already seen so much about it. What made it worse was being told several times how we were listening to something that had never been told before. It added nothing to my knowledge and was annoying to boot.
