Right wing propaganda.
People in California walking into stores taking what they want and Police not stopping them? The violent gang Antifa? Delaware defending the Police? There are lists with a list of 20 items or so where the numbers are described seemingly at random. Like say #2 then #8. The rationale is 98% opinion. It seems to be like something Trump would write, that is if Trump could write.

Definitely a big book
Lots of lists here with some explanation as to how the author came up with his categories and rankings of each item. The lists are not thorough, in the fact that not each list has an explanation for each of the twenty most dangerous things. Thank God. Otherwise I'm not sure anyone would get through this book.

Interesting Lists
The book is filled with lists to entertain almost everyone.
California is noted as the most dangerous state. With the 5th largest economy in the world, there is something to be said about money and power.

Subjective, Infactual & Padded
***Due to the content of its nature, the book does tackle sensitive and triggering topics that may not be suitable for sensitive readers***
The Great Big Book of the Lists of the Most Dangerous Things was a promise of a book that was extinguished rather quickly. As a result, it makes for a lengthy and dull read if you choose to go cover-to-cover.
The author did keep the lists format for the most part, and with each subject, there was room for twenty entries that met the subject of the chapter.
Furthermore, the author made certain to boldly announce at the beginning of the book that the content was based on his own opinion and mostly subjective while also given to more than likely change with age.
And now for the cons.... For a book that is meant to be dedicated to lists, the author chose a waffling format with some blocks receiving indepth looks to why they made the lists. I may have been more than able to deal with this if the majority of the wordy explanations were for things rather quite little known, like the SARS epidemic versus a verbose look into the bubonic plague.
At the same time, some lists gave a bit of details for all entries while others didn't. And on some lists, the same entry was multiply included, but under a secondary name, which is cheating. Also similar in idea was the inclusion of an entry for beheading followed a few entries later by death via guillotine, which is the same thing.
On the same note some sections seemed to have been lifted from one entry to another with a few changes although otherwise word-for-word.
Although grouped similarly, there was no clear delineation of the various sections from one another.
And finally, there is the infactual information like both moose genders have antlers or beheading was done with a sharp blade. Other entries stopped in midsentence or had a combination of grammatical or some other editorial issue.
All in all, it was a horrible choice of a book and a slog I would rather not repeat in the future.
