 Not that good, No bang for the buck. July 20, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Kind of a blah book with no continuity or anything positive to say. Very cynical and I didn't enjoy it...I'm selling my copy on ebay for 1.00
 Just a Great Read July 17, 2008
This book had me rolling with laughter and crying like a baby! What Taibbi exposes in a wild and hysterical way is the idiocy of the general public. The stuff about Hagee's "church" is frightening and funny. C'mon, throwing up the "demon of anal fissures"! How is that not funny!? That people can be so easily fooled and led like sheep is scary. And the 9/11 truthers - just go need to go away. What Taibbi exposes about how Congress really works is just plain sad. This country is in it deep and we may never recover. Buy this book and get a dose of reality! Awesome!
 Entertaining, but not enlightening. July 15, 2008

The narrative is at times, laugh-out-loud funny, and is certainly entertaining and readable. Taibbi holds no punches. He is a bit unfair to religion and it is obvious that he is "left-of-center." He is almost gentle with the Dems. in this book, which kind of taints the whole point he is trying to make: the deranged are everywhere.
The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire July 7, 2008
This book is both funny and scary. It gives a personal review of encounters with everyday Americans. People
who are good, kind, but share a lunacy that makes you wonder whether America is really in its twilight.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to move beyond left and right. Great insight into how the executive, legislative and even the media have colluded to change the way we view events.
