Book Reviews of A Cool Million and The Dream Life of Balso Snell: Two Novels
Book Review: "A Cool Million" is The Great American Political Satire
Summary: 5 Stars
While "Balso Snell" is funny in a late-Mark Twain kind of way, the real reason to buy this book is "A Cool Million," the Great American Political Satire. Written in the 1930's (and if you know anything about the wacko American Right of that decade, you'll realize that West is not exaggerrating too much) "A Cool Million" still packs a satirical punch. This is probably because, unfortunately, the right-wing wackos West skewers have now taken over the American asylum...
