Negative Positive
Title: Before you read this book....
Review: When I read this book, something about it made me uncomfortable. While it is easy to become numb to yet another diatribe against Clinton (which is what this book mostly is), Posner's harshly negative tome, dressed up in pedantic legalese, seemed a bit over the top. Still, I couldn't put my finger on what was so disturbing about the book. Then I read the March 9 issue of the New York Review of Books (nybooks.com), which includes an incredibly insighful review of Posner's book by Ronald Dworkin, a legal scholar on par with Posner. All I can say is: read Dworkin's absolute destruction of this book. Posner may be one of great legal minds of our day, but, as Dowrkin makes clear, this book cannot be taken seriously. It is nothing more than far-right, anti-Clinton nonsense dressed up in legal language. Thank you, Ronald Dworkin, for exposing Posner's book for the sham and joke that it is.
Is the review positive or negative?
