review:
One of the few nonfiction ebooks at the library that sounded interesting and was also available for checkout. I’m a little torn: some of it was LOLTEAPARTY, but then the last chapter argued that mocking them was a bad idea. And personally, quite a bit was familiar from the last year or two. I will admit that I find it utterly horrifying that Glenn Beck has a book called The Overton Window. (I find him horrifying in general, though.) The second-person POV (“you”) was sometimes cloying, but done reasonably well.
