What it doesn't have is that undefinable quality that distinguishes it from all the other dime a dozen conspiracy books. The writing is adequate though not compelling which is why I can't rank it more than two stars. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/245250?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
