- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5What a trainwreck. A bad gimmick, with leaden writing, about events which are paltry distortions of facts, boring talking-head characters, lousy political propaganda, and nothing happens. Why do I push myself to suffer through these terrible books when I have 2000 on my to-read list?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5O is set during the 2012 Presidential Campaign. While the book does provide some insight in the how the campaign works; it doesn't really give much of an insight into "O". The end seemed a little abrupt, and left me wondering what the purpose for writing the book was.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I gave the book 1/2 star because I couldn't give it negative stars. For me, this thing was a foolish waste of time. I had hoped that the "insider" author would give us some insights into O and who and what he stands for, but you won't find much of that here. If you're reading this book to find out what makes O tick, forget it. What the author has to say is strangely sycophantic, as if he's hoping not to hurt anyone's feelings. The author has O swearing occasionally and smoking 3 cigarettes a day. That's about as much depth is you will find about the man in this book. "The Wife" is MIA, except for a couple of approving mentions. The one thing I found to be hilarious: the author made O a viable candidate for the 2012 election by giving the country a 6% unemployment rate. Even then, the election was up in the air and not looking good for O's team. What was the point of this book? Why did anonymous write this thing? Honestly, I have no idea. I was annoyed with myself for wasting my time with this book.
