Kind of hit or miss for the first 1/3 or so of the book but the essays about the period when the election was down to just 3 or 4 candidates were very entertaining and insightful. I quite enjoyed most of it.
A great reminder of of Hertzberg's talent. Quite prescient.
Although this was a good book and I enjoyed reading it, I am not sure I would recommend purchasing it to others. Mr. Hertzberg has essentially compiled already published essays he wrote between 2004 and 2008 and packaged them in book form. If someone is interested in reading Mr. Hertzberg's writing (which is excellent) from this time period, I suggest searching the Internet or locating the printed version of his writing in a library in lieu of buying a book with the same material in it.
