Can something be considered a "book" when it only runs to 89 pages of original text? Of course this is followed by another 80 or so pages of excerpts from the EESA (e.g. the bailout law), but I'm personally thinking "pamphlet" would be a better description of what this work actually is.
The frustrating part is that what is there is about as non-biased as you're likely to find in political writing these days. Though Muolo himself doubtless pulls the (R) lever in most elections, Republicans are skewered with equal fervor as Democrats. But anyone who reads this work and thinks they'll come away with a much greater understanding of the housing boom/bust, the various bailouts of financial institutions, and the chicanery in general that defined DC from 2002 to 2008 will be sorely disappointed.
To offer a review of three words: Interesting, but superficial.
