*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2017*

Virtually read it in one sitting. All the more powerful for having a 500 year run up to his dissection of the American love affair with, and addiction to, fantasy, conspiracy, and hucksterism, which, when combined, gave the world not only Trump, and the gangster demagogues, but also the right-on narcissists of his critics. Very wittily and eruditely written, with scores of fantastic examples and individual narrative threads, many of which were entirely new to me. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Was condensed into a fab Atlantic thinkpiece a couple of months ago.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good but physically unreadable
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2018*

This looks like a good read, and indeed the brief passages I have sampled are more serious than I was expecting, given its other reviews. My main beef however is the quality of the product. I got the paperback edition, with the inverted American top hat on it, and not only is the paper quality cheap but the font is small and very very feint. Maybe it's because I am over 60 so my eyesight is not the best, but the other books I bought at the same time shout out at me off their pages, so clear, large and black-and-white (as opposed to silvery-grey and white) are their typefaces. I can't read more than a few sentences of this book at a time without having to pause while I blink and try to refocus, so blurry do its pages look.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Very poor quality
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2019*

As another reviewer has said, this book is printed on very cheap paper using a very small, pale, font which makes it extremely difficult to read. I did go to the trouble of trying to ascertain what font had been used but the book is silent on this point. In the end I gave up the struggle after the first fifty pages or so. There are far better, more incisive books about America than this one.
