Great Read

Reviewer: C. M. Deosdade
This is a superb book! I've read it once and will probably go back again as things change in Washington and in this country. I've read "2010" and Morris has it right. Wake up America...Dick Morris gives great insight as to what Obama has done and will do.
Dick Morris should fire his editor if he hasn't already

Reviewer: Texan
Yes, with that subject title comes a lot of responsibilty for me. I admit, I make errors. You can see that in some of my reviews! The thing is, well, the information is good, but if I am expected to produce quality editing when I submit something for work or when I was in school, than authors who get paid to write should be publishing books with a good editor.
Otherwise, I think Dick Morris does a decent job in exposing some of the lies politicians tell us whether Republican or Democrat, which I can appreciate his non-partisan views.
A few minor errors

Reviewer: Spencer E Schultz
I liked this book better than the "Culture Warrior" by Bill O'Reilly. There were however a few minor errors. I haven't finished the book for lack of time, but find it interesting and informative.
The errors were only a few and simply untrue statements about a few things. I'm certain this happened from a misunderstanding of the research in a few areas. I don't believe it affected the accuracy of his analysis about being fleeced though.
Incomplete book.

"Fleeced" is a little too heavy on opinion and a little too light on data.

Although generally informative, this book is heavy reading, maybe because it is somewhat incoherent. The use of GREY areas to enhance items of interest is distracting and makes them hard to read because of the loss of contrast. My beef is not content, but rather presentation.
