Though I ain't an American I was concerned about the recent held elections for the past few months. I followed the host shows of Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert to get some glimpses and highlights. With those public and media reception, I thought Hillary would win. But the rest is the concoction of comedy and tragedy.
*From "Late Show with Stephen Colbert"
The book's written by Vice chair of Libertarian National Committee and I had a feeling of getting a neutral view of the things that happened. The first 35% of the book is very sensible, logical regarding the economic perception, bigotry issues, LGBTQ long unsolved struggles and many more. After exploring more and more topics and factors, I felt the author's getting too hard on Hillary, little pedantic in words which isn't neutral I guess.
At the very start of the book, the author said that it's about why Hillary lost and not about How Trump won but the book has many aspects and circumstances which Trump Utilised. And then came the topic of Locker room tape and the author's overwordy justifications on the action of Trump which I felt biased when the vulgarity scale was set 1 out of 10. I got to know that locker room talks are typically filled with sexual vulgarity but the author spent redundant time in convincing. Some opinions are structured by hindsight which I felt after the locker room part. At the end of reading the book, I got a mixed feeling of learning and resentment.
I thank Netgalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my opinion.
