4.0�toiles sur 5 strong work, excellent research but needed editing, Nov. 3 2003

This review is from: Protect and Defend (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first exposure to Patterson's work and I was very impressed. His knowledge of the dynamic and process of politics makes this a compelling read. His presentation of the contentious debate about Women's Reproductive Rights is very fair. My only quible is that the book is just too long. When a sentence would have worked, he gives us a paragraph. When a paragraph would have sufficed, we get a chapter. A tighter narative would have given greater momentum to the last third of the book.

This review is from: Protect and Defend (Mass Market Paperback)

A work can be slanted, biased, and intellectually compelling, but not here. Patterson's CONTRIVED PROPAGANDA for the feel-good masses should be a disappointment for all admirers of his early novels.

How do you create a book Bill Clinton calls a must read? Lift characters from current events, vilify mainstream opponents of your views, and white wash your own extremist positions. Go to far and you end up with, as an earlier reviewer notes, a Masters and Killcannon... "so saintly and self-righteous, they are nauseating."

If you're comfortable with the views of gun violence and reproductive rights advocates like Patterson, that to use weapons to defend your family and your life is wrong but killing partially delivered babies is right, buy this book.
