3.0 out of 5 starsImprovement over his first book, but needs more refinement.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2004
Dr. Savage is a strongly opinioned man who has developed a very effective formula for conveying his message on the radio. However he has yet to master the printed word. While his views are interesting and provocative, he nevertheless writes as though he's speaking to complete morons. He keeps interjecting personal stories which, while some find them appealing, for others they are a constant distraction from his message.
What is his message? Apparently Dr. Savage believes a communist takeover is underway in the United States and he offers compelling observations to back that view up. Still, his effort to write a piece of literature to act as guide and rallying point will only meet with success when he drops all the carnival distractions of sarcastic labels and personal memoirs (which works well on the radio) and instead dedicates himself to an intellectual and well constructed appeal to the mind.
By breaking his train of thought to fill the reader with seven or eight paragraphs of apparent gibberish, only to finally demonstrate the connection after the reader has taken a leap of faith to read through the fodder, Dr. Savage displays both condescension and arrogant presumption in his writing style. I for one hope he eventually writes a political thesis which caters more to the audience intended for his other academic level works.
