Question: Title: Y-a-w-n-n-n-n-n-n-n Review: Much of this book is tedious. I used to rank Patricia Cornwell among my favorite authors, but the last few books have been slow and repetitive. This one is no exception, so tedious that the plot is nearly lost. It does get better in the second half, though. Cornwell uses an odd combination of present tense and third person omniscient. She frequently uses "and" to tie together otherwise separate sentences. I think the idea is to mimic stream of consciousness, but instead it just seems like poor grammar. The style is disconcerting and detracts from the plot. The plot itself is fairly preposterous - too many unlikely scenarios and connections. The two books before Trace were also both blah and painful to read (I didn't bother to finish either one). I wish she would pick up the action of her earlier style! Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Middle America Revealed Review: This is a must read for political junkies, especially Democrats and liberals who can't comprehend why rural middle class Americans continue to vote Republican when doing so is clearly not in their best economic interests. Using Kansas as perhaps the best example of this phenomenon, the author does an excellent job of analyzing the cultural, political, and economic forces that have caused middle America to shift strongly to the right over the past 40 years. From this book, I came away with a deeper understanding of American politics, especially the Reagan conservative revolution that forged an unlikey but successful alliance of Wall Street capitalists and social conservative evangelicals to form the modern Republican machine.
