Title: a disappointed overseas reader
Product review: Those who like John Kerry or voted for him will love his book. Those who wanted something to sink their teeth into will be disappointed. I was. His writing is verbose and prosaic, and I became impatient with his unrelenting stream of consciousness style. Kerry's views in this book lack intellectual rigor or pith and have a pedestrian, sophomoric appeal of the commonplace. It actually put me to sleep. After having read it, I still don't have any larger insight into Kerry's political philosophy and I have the impression that I was just supposed to get into a sort of feely John Kerry state of being. His title promised a vision but the result was more a glimmer. I bought this book in an overseas bookstore at more than it's cover price and wish I could send it back to him for a return on my money.
