I'd be damn interested in that book. I've read a couple of Thompson's books, and I still keep up with his commentaries on ESPN. Unbelievable writer. Let me know what you think. As soon as I finish up with Davinci Code, I might invest and buy this book as well. |
the book went missing a few days after i made my post. however, i still haven't gotten over the annoyance of not finishing it (which is a bit unusual for me) so i'm probably going to buy another copy so i can finish those last 50 pages or so.
point being, great book. it's great to have someone so slanted, yet so honest cover a political campaign. thompson openly acknowledges any biases he has and occasionally goes off the deep end on spectacular tangents, but somehow it's still relevant.
not sure if i've mentioned this before, but i'm a fiend for thompson so i'm very unlikely to find fault in his work. i enjoy his rambling and bizarre commentaries although i think they could annoy some. but i consider him to be a terrific writer, i'm currently reading anything by him that i can get my hands on. go read the book and let me know what you think. it's the perfect book to read during election season. it turned me into a bit of an election junkie.
