    I really enjoyed this book. I have always been intrigued by the Kennedy assassination and this was right up there. Even if the plot seems like it cannot be real it can put a small seed of doubt in your mind as to the workings of today's government.

    Nice conspiracy story. Fast paced and a quick read.One thing I did not like very much was the fact that it sometimes read a bit like a movie or comic, with lots of 'BLAM!' and 'BANG!'s during the action scenes. The action scenes make up quite a big part of the novel, and sometimes I just got a bit daunted by the number of noises and exclamations that made up the descriptions. Other than that, I thought it was a fun read, not too complex or anything, but nice enough.

    If you like conspiracy theories and short fast-moving stories with plenty of action, then this is the book for you.Having said that, the plot is a little unbelievable - think Dan Brown on a budget - and I would have preferred a lot more detail about the history of the Ameristocracy itself and what it was doing before and since the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy to give them more weight in the story than just as a bunch of faceless "baddies". For example, what exactly is the "Renewed Society" program which is the catalyst for a full-blown assault on the Presidency?Still, Paul Moxham writes his action scenes well. They are very visual and his style is very reminiscent of Matthew Reilly.Ameristocracy is an enjoyable, quick read and if you were a younger (teen) reader I'd probably give it a rating of 3 1/2 rather than 3.

    This book was a fun read. Conspiracy theories abound and the high energy and rapid pace make for a great afternoon of reading.

    Ameristocracy is fast paced and exciting. The novella kept me reading to the end. Paul Maxham writes stories that could easily be made into a movie. Keep writing Paul!!

    It's an action based story without a lot of profoundness. It's more the shooting between the good and bad guys. I miss a good story behind it. The reading was more like watching a 'crime' serie on the TV. For all those who like action, shooting and so on they'll probably like this story.

    Ameristocracy is a wonderful, albeit common, concept; secret societies commanding a supposed democracy, scandals bigger than the country that they take place in. Written by an Australian, (and when read by an American) it is interesting to see how outsiders view our government, even if it is a fictional conspiracy theory. Moxham clearly did his research when it comes to the structure of the U.S. government, which sounds trivial but, if he had failed to do so, the story would've fell flat.The main character, Jack, is thoroughly developed and draws one into an otherwise improbable story. Said story, while short, showcases the author's ability to create a fictional world along with a conflict and build upon that conflict to bring the novella to a conclusion.The only criticism I can come up with is the inclusion of seemingly unnecessary details and exclusion of ideas that make one think "Okay, well what about that?"Overall, this is a quick, refreshing read that allows one to temporarily have explanation for otherwise catastrophic events in U.S. presidential history.

    This book was thoroughly enjoyable. The plot was believable and the characters were *real*. they could have been a little more developed but they were still interesting. There was enough mystery in it to keep you interested while also allowing the reader to keep up with what is happening. The one thing I noticed and did not understand was the ages of the characters added after each was introduced to the storyline. Their ages were extraneous and added nothing to the story (with the exception of the 12 year old boy). I wish it had been longer. I didn't want it to end. Mr. Moxham did a wonderful job with this book. I give it a 4-1/2 stars.

    I'll start with the one terrible thing about this story. It was just to short. I really enjoyed the story and only had a couple problems with it. One was Mr. Moxhams use of the charactors ages, the other was that you really didn't know the charactors. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next though and it was hard to put down. Please think about paper and not electronic. I'm going to have to go by a Kindle just so I can down load this story. To Mr. Moxham, Thank you for helping me read your wonderful story. I did enjoy it.
