really liked it

I found this to be mesmerizing. I don't often look too closely at our so-called democratic republic in action because I find it too infuriating--and disheartening--but this did not disappoint me. I listened on audio and my attention never wavered. I appreciated the behind the scenes view on a troubling time in our country. I wish I could say we are on the mend and on to better times, but I remain cautious and skeptical.

I respect the author, too...and it felt like a pretty fair assessment of what happened. I don't think we are out of the woods yet, and the "peril" referred to was as much present at the end as during the entire book, sadly.
