- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Once upon a time when I was very rich I read P.J. O'Rourke and laughed. Now that I am as poor as a churchmouse and need him and this book, I can't get into it. I didn't like the style and often could not figure out what he was getting at. I haven't been able to afford new glasses recently and maybe that's the problem, but anyway I didn't finish the book.I received a review copy of "None of My Business" by P.J. O'Rourke (Grove Atlantic) through NetGalley.com.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5As much as I enjoyed P.J. O'Rourke's early work, such as the classic Republican Party Reptile, this book just doesn't work for me. First, it is more a random collection of rants than a focused set of chapters about the book's ostensible subject--money, banking, debt, equity, assets, and liabilities. Along the way, he takes a Luddite-like approach to anything related to the internet or social media. While it is easy to agree with some of his observations, they are offset by other extreme statements--such as basically saying everything governmental is evil--that make the book hard to digest as a whole. I KNOW--he is a humorist, and it is supposed to be funny. And some of it is. But there is also a lot of serious social criticism here--some of it well founded--and some of it far right drivel. This book really needed a good editor who could give it some semblance of a structure. It's just a mess as is.
