The book read like a bunch of blog posts, which I liked for the ease of read. The author really does a great job of whittling down the big problems of the country and writing about them in a humorous, yet sincere, way. ( ) I happen to agree with Ms. Ehrenreich on 99% of points, but her writing style at times rubbed me the wrong way, especially when she was deriding people for believing in God. I am sure a lot of the incendiary comments were there just to annoy conservatives, but it distracted from my enjoyment of the book. 5 stars for content, 2 stars for writing style. The author got a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. Where she was right, she was sickeningly smug and where she was wrong was downright sickening. I didn't appreciate the Michael Moorean approach of presenting facts that agree with you and supressing ones that don't. Also, it was not pleasant to sit through hours of tedious pessimism only to end the book with no real positive solutions. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Distinctions
Ehrenreich's second work of satirical commentary reflects on one of the cruelest decades in memory--the 2000's--in which she finds a nation scarred by deepening inequality, corroded by distrust, and shamed by its official cruelty. No library descriptions found. |
