2.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly done,
By Jonathan Stein (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An American Bestiary (Paperback)
When I saw the reviews for this book, I expected a funny, insightful view of Washington from one of its most creative insiders. The book has its moments of humor (sometimes it even makes you think) but it has several typos and McCarthy repeats paragraphs, almost word for word, several times. Most parts leave the reader disinterested and disappointed. Not money well spent.
