I really enjoyed this book. I have always been intrigued by the Kennedy assassination and this was right up there. Even if the plot seems like it cannot be real it can put a small seed of doubt in your mind as to the workings of today's government. ( )

Nice conspiracy story. Fast paced and a quick read.
One thing I did not like very much was the fact that it sometimes read a bit like a movie or comic, with lots of 'BLAM!' and 'BANG!'s during the action scenes. The action scenes make up quite a big part of the novel, and sometimes I just got a bit daunted by the number of noises and exclamations that made up the descriptions.
Other than that, I thought it was a fun read, not too complex or anything, but nice enough. ( )

If you like conspiracy theories and short fast-moving stories with plenty of action, then this is the book for you.

Having said that, the plot is a little unbelievable - think Dan Brown on a budget - and I would have preferred a lot more detail about the history of the Ameristocracy itself and what it was doing before and since the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy to give them more weight in the story than just as a bunch of faceless "baddies". For example, what exactly is the "Renewed Society" program which is the catalyst for a full-blown assault on the Presidency?

Still, Paul Moxham writes his action scenes well. They are very visual and his style is very reminiscent of Matthew Reilly.

Ameristocracy is an enjoyable, quick read and if you were a younger (teen) reader I'd probably give it a rating of 3 1/2 rather than 3. ( )

This book was a fun read. Conspiracy theories abound and the high energy and rapid pace make for a great afternoon of reading. ( )

Ameristocracy is fast paced and exciting. The novella kept me reading to the end. Paul Maxham writes stories that could easily be made into a movie. Keep writing Paul!! ( )
