Review title: Bethany Unmasked
Product review: Like, I suspect, many readers of the Bethany series, the changing of the guard in the White House from a republican to a democrat caused the Tom Bethany character to be unmasked. Where, in the earlier works, Bethany is portrayed as a man cynical of government (note his references to Albert Jay Nock's early works) it becomes apparent in the novel "Half Nelson" that the character speaks out against government only so long as there is a republican to be despised.Doolittle fumbled the ball, in my view, by allowing his glee that a democrat occupies the White House to show through into the Bethany character's personality, changing Bethany's attitude from that of a free thinker who despises government corruption into that of a partisan party supporter.I'm glad that the author dropped all pretense and revealed himself, the series was becoming tiresome anyway.
