Book Reviews of The Truth (with jokes)

Book Review: Mmmmm
Summary: 2 Stars

I'm a big fan of Al. "Lies", "Why not Me" and "Rush" are genuinely laugh out loud funny - this is very rare in a book. Some of the commentary/characters are possibly a little remote for us Europeans, but still very worthwhile.

This though slips over the edge from satire into just plain angry - understandable perhaps - George W is a very easy target -he and his cronies are unpleasant liars - But there's too much truth here and not enough jokes. Depressing.
