Title: Disappointing follow-up to Puzzle Palace
Review: I read the author's previous book when it first came out. It was a ground-breaking exploration of the NSA and the role it has played. I stopped reading Body of Secrets after 85 pages because it veered suddenly into unsubstantiated conspiracy-theory hogwash. The text has no footnotes, so it is impossible to find the author's source precisely. However he has page indexed notes at the back which cite zany assasination-theory groups (the kind with the storefronts at Dealey Plaza!) Too bad he couldn't stick to the facts about a truly fascinating subject.
Is the review positive or negative?
