## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting essays but dated
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017*

This book collects Taibbi’s essays from the 2016 presidential campaign.  They reflect his excellent reporting and sense of humor, but they are dated. Many predict outcomes that didn’t come to pass, which is at least honest but leaves us wondering just how insightful he is.  He’s added an update on the election and some events afterwards, and that material is still up-to-date six months later - a long time in this presidency, it seems.Some campaign reporting lasts for years, but these stories didn’t.  I’d rather see him write a book looking back, where he reflects on what he got wrong, and why.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great companion book to "Shattered"
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017*

The first out the gate book about the 2016 election (except for those that were written before Election Day - shame on you Maureen Dowd), the author covers the election from the R side of the tracks.  A great companion book to "Shattered", which I read at the same time.  In the absence of White or Witcover/Germond, and with every campaign reporter now writing a book (instead of one great author covering the entire campaign), we'll have to settle for one-sided coverage of election events, and we could do worse that having this author provide the coverage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    No matter your political leanings, a must read!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017*

Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi delivers a masterful and cuttingly insightful appraisal of the 2016 presidential campaign. His personal observations from the year-long campaign trail, compiled from his regular reports made for the magazine, level a humorous, witty yet tragic concern and on-target criticisms of all involved: the candidates of both parties and their staff, the news media (both real and fake), the president elect and his predecessor, and even the electorate are all held culpable in what is obviously an abomination of our nation. Without coming off as an "I told you so", Matt prefaces the book with excerpts from a previous publication "The Great Derangement" where 10 years earlier he clearly recognized the emergence of a white nationalism and the demise of the established political establishment where spectacle matters over substance, and any shared reality was dissolving. I found this book riveting, infuriating, entertaining, but most of all informing. It should be seen perhaps as an obituary for politics as past, and a primer for the future. This is one book I would hope is spared in any future book burnings!
