Review title: The Fine Line Between Clever And....
Product review: Great idea -- update de Tocqueville for a new millenium.But shoddy execution. Instead of coming to find out about America, like de Tocqueville, the author arrives with a bundle of preconceived notions, assorted prejudices, and a bushel of statistics. He doesn't seem to like America, or most Americans, very much. His interviews just don't ring true, and he just makes stuff up. I haven't been to Flint, Michigan lately, but I doubt you find elm trees lining the streets 40 years after Dutch Elm Disease moved into the midwest. And I sincerely doubt that backyard clotheslines are a fixture of suburbn Pennsylvania today.And talk about bad timing for a publisher -- scheduling a book dumping all over America for a November, 2001 publication date!
