Title: A delightful rant!
Review: "Thieves in High Places" is a good old fashioned rant. I loved it. If you're an unrepentant, thus-far non-deprogrammed Bush-lover, this probably isn't for you. It'll just raise your blood pressure (so sorry!). But for those living through this time with open eyes, at least you'll get some laughs from Hightower's humor, some more info about what's going on in the world (the chapter on Wal*mart is particularly shocking), and some ideas about what to do about it. The thing I liked best about this book is that it is fundamentally optimistic in tone, and not whiney. Yes, things are screwed up, but as this author and, for another good example, Amy Goodman in "The Exception to the Rulers" lays out, grassroots organization does have the power to effect real change in the world. You didn't expect it to be easy, did you?
Is the review positive or negative?
