Slanted agenda

Written by `DavidC` on `July 15th, 2010`

Book Rating: 2/5

This is a book written with an agenda. Basically, if you're a Democrat you can do no wrong, if you're a Republican you do nothing but wrong. The author does make some points, and it's not a bad story. The problem is that it's so one-sided that it's impossible to gain any kind of objective information from it. It's too bad, because I'm very interested in the subject matter. I just didn't feel I could trust anything here, and I only made it half way through the book before I gave up. If you lean to the left you'll love this book. If you lean to the right, or want to get a factual information showing both sides of the issues you won't get much from it.
