A little bit of satire that made me laugh, shake my head, and think of Mark Twain, who said, brilliantly, “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
Robert Coates had a great writing style, but the first quarter of the book was tedious to get into because of the rambling of the mentally ill man (well done, but hard to stay into). Sad story. Well crafted and interesting, but enjoyment remains at 3 star. Will check out the other recommended book by author.
