Really good look at some aspect inside DOJ under Clinton if you can get past the obvious (Brother of one Rush L.) right wing prejudice.

This book is disgusting. Don't know what happened to my first copy of this. Just ordered it and can't wait to read it again. One of the all time best ending. Really the only book by Welsh that I like and I have picked up and at least started a couple of his other titles.

I have read this at least three times. This is the greatest American play in my opinion and is even greater than what most critics consider his greatest play: Long Days Journey Into Night. This is being staged by Steppenwolf Theater here in Chicago this year and am really looking forward to seeing this.

I picked this book up because I like reading dystopian/post apocalyptic fiction and because of the awards and accolades associated with this book and author. Despite these, this book with its lack of punctuation and its short sentences and paragraphs is almost unreadable. I, like the father and son in this novel, floundered and trudged through this book. Incidently, "trudge", "flounder" and "Ash" as in "everything is covered in ash", are the most commonly recurring words in this book. I get it, oversimplification, no chapter breaks and really short paragraphs were used as a literary device. At one point the main character is thinks about the uselessness of books when day to day survival is the main concern. Yet many books in this genre convey this urgency in an interesting way. I did not care about the father and son in this book I only wanted this to end one way or another. At least it was short.
