Here's MY review:
Too many of Ann Coulter's "facts" go unsubstantiated throughout all her books. She tries to be serious, but how can anyone who ignores research and truth be in any way taken seriously? Since her rise to popularity as one of the supporters of Paula Jones during the Clinton years, she has had no legal good standing in any of her attacks on the left and on the Democratic Party. Objective critics have taken apart her books, often going page-to-page to show the flaws, the illogic, and more than anything, the outright lies she tells in her writing, things which she will never correct or publicly declare as inaccurate.
It is a very sad thing when someone who writes fiction as truth, as she tries to assert her writing as, can be so easily debunked, and her writing is so weak as to show the shame of her educational upbringing. She writes wholly on a base, primitively emotional level, which seems to please many conservatives and Republicans whose education is subpar to even her own, but whose work falls apart quite handily when subjected to any kind of real scrutiny.
The leaders of our country have sadly failed more often than not in the past 6 years, and their real contribution to our country is the overexposure of people like Coulter who truly disgrace our country in its once proud heritage of higher education. If William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway were alive today, they would surely be able to denounce such writing as far from literature as it is possible. Their spirits must indeed be incensed that such a one as Coulter believes herself in any way a true author.
