I first read this quite awhile ago. Being a political junkie, I en joy Political non fiction. This was a tough read yet I c an't say I didn't like it. It sure gives you a heck of alot of info about Karl Rove though.

I have never been A Rove Fan. I can clearly remember the Bush years and somehow whenever I saw Rove on the talk show circuit, I would think "sleezy". He made no secret that he'd do literally anything to get Bush into the White House and this book confirms it.

Still it is tough to read about someone you dislike so much. What really astounded me was the scorn he seemed to feel, not just for Democrats, but for some of the very people whose votes he needed t o secure. I did take to skimming after awhile because the whole book, well written as it was, was leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Kind of felt like I wanted to shower after reading this.

There are times I question why I read this stuff and why I'm a political junkie in the first place but if you are, you are. It's in you, in your blood. I have always held a rather obsessive interest in politics, more then the average person at any rate. This book shows the sleaze factor very well. I would recommend it to fellow Political junkies.… (altro)
