Reply #9: It was okay. [View All]

I thought, considering the amount of money, brain-power and resources they fired at this project that it could have been much better, but it was okay.

My chief problem with the book is that it has very little insight into how Kerry thinks and how he comes to his conclusions. He is a genuinely interesing guy and I wanted more insight into how he makes his decisions. I thought the BGlobe book was interesting, but I could also see the seams showing. It was obvious in the book that the writers couldn't get beyond the 'Globe problem' and didn't really make any really good intuitive leaps into what makes this guy tick.

I also think my own criticism has a blind spot, just for the record. It is the criticism of a Masshole who wasn't looking for an overall narrative or an introduction to someone I had never really looked at. I have a critique of the book as someone who is already generally familiar with the subject and wanted something more than a 'then he did this, then he did that' style. Maybe it wasn't written for me.
