From Hillary's new book... she apparently thinks that the core lesson from George Orwell's 1984 was that we need to trust government, "experts", and the press. You can NOT make this stuff up!!

Hillary Clinton's new book about the 2016 presidential race titled What Happened went on sale Tuesday. In the long lead-up to its release, Clinton and her publisher Simon & Schuster promised that the book would be a candid account of the former secretary of state's dramatic election loss to Donald Trump and an honest reflection on what the experience has meant to her. Some book critics say Clinton's latest title delivers the kind of authenticity that she's lacked in the past. The New York Times' Jennifer Senior calls the book a "feminist manifesto," "a score-settling jubilee," and "worth reading." Others, meanwhile, fault Clinton for using the 464-page text to blame players like Bernie Sanders, James Comey, and Vladimir Putin for the election defeat, rather than taking responsibility herself. And then there are the decidedly less analytical reviews that are already populating the book's Amazon listing. Given the current political climate and the venomous nature of the 2016 race, it's probably no surprise that critics of Clinton have used one-star reviews to further communicate their dislike of the former first lady, or in some cases, peddle conspiracy theories about Clinton and husband Bill.
I think that copies of Hillary Clinton’s book, What Happened, should be dropped on the border of the US and Mexico to frighten away illegal aliens.
You are supposed to use the EXACT header of the article being posted——you didn’t.
Very misleading.
.
If you read the poorly formatted post, the writer clearly did read the book, and quoted it repeatedly.
The header is wrong also————the poster posted his opinion,not what the author wrote.
Drives me nuts.
.
Agreed. Regardless of author/content, reviews should be by people who actually read the book. Flame bait like “What Happened” gets inundated with 1-star “reviews” by people who just plain hate her, spewing nothing relevant; such hearsay-driven vitriol doesn’t help our cause.
I’m looking for honest reviews, like this Twitter thread by a staunch Leftist - who absolutely hated & eviscerated the book: https://twitter.com/katereadsbks/status/907630099519881219

It is a shame most if not all corporations are run by obnoxious liberals who, once rich, try to deny riches to others.
Seems to me this was done before by Amazon with a controversial book, not long ago.
With Hillary's book if you are a Hillary nutter you are going to buy it regardless of the reviews.
“Ummm, they(sic) not teach PARAGRAPHS... No Kemosabe! he he
Same here, we need more censorship..
97% of readers gave it 5 stars. Doesn’t pass the smell test.
FWIW, here is a link to Amazon.ca reviews of her book. 27 out of 43 gave it 1 star.
Dont know how to format them. First time post sorry.
Here it is with paragraphs (thanks google cache!)
True.
See
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/13/amazon-deletes-one-star-reviews-clinton-book/
Quote: ““What Happened,” the former Democratic presidential nominee’s tell-all about the 2016 presidential race, currently boasts an average rating of 4.8 stars out of 5.
The only problem is, Amazon admitted to deleting negative reviews that apparently violate the company’s “community guidelines.”
All those I said I didn’t read the book, please read the review and you’ll clearly see I did.
Obviously the spelling error, and your humorous use of "ain't", led to the deletion. /sarc
It's a great review! No surprises that the lefty larvae who work at the faceless corporation uphold its decades of partisan bias, and at no consequence to themselves.
All Amazon would know is that you didn’t buy the book from them, right? How would they know if anyone got it somewhere else and read it?
