1.0 out of 5 stars A Book That Was Published at Exactly the Wrong Time ..., July 10 2010
Just about every aspect of this non-scandal has been publicly debunked in the last couple of weeks. This book is headed straight to the remainders bin, and good riddance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, Sep 4 2007
Mr. Dyer's clarity of style and substance really cuts through the flak sent up by the American government and media regarding the invasion and occupation of Iraq. After reading this book, one wonders how anyone at all could have fallen for the doomed neoconservative scheme for perpetual U.S. world domination. An excellent survey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but ..., Aug 31 2007
This review is from: On Chesil Beach (Hardcover)
... EXTREMELY overpriced for such a short book, especially when one considers that it originally appeared in the New Yorker for mere pennies, if one has a subsciption.

... if you can't recognise this as utter nonsense, your families should have you committed.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Compiler Brings the Book Way Down, Aug 1 2007
Although his selection of quotations is excellent, Jack Huberman sabotages his own book by inserting his own unfunny and simple-minded editorial comments anywhere and everywhere. Somewhere around the D's, I had to put the book aside and wish that Huberman was as non-existent as God.

1.0 out of 5 stars So I plucked this book from a remainder table ..., Mar 10 2007
This review is from: Dry: A Memoir (Paperback)
... and thought that since it was a hardcover and selling for two bucks on final clearance, I'd give it a try. I read three pages, then threw it in the recycling bin and poured myself a drink to assuage my irritation. It was so badly written as to be unreadable by anyone with even a minimum level of discernment. I have nothing against Mr. Burroughs, but his editors should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
