Title: Disappointing effort by a good writer
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book because I admire Peggy Noonan's gifted writing skills and I certainly agree with the premise of the book. But, this book seemed to me to not present enough material to justify being published. I think she had enough good material to produce a very fine magazine article or series of 2-3 articles, but, I guess she and her agent had sold a publisher on a book deal. By the time she gets through trying to stretch her ideas into a short book, the result is not pretty. Was she just lazy or couldn't she come up with more solid material? The travel office material was very good, but, not much else was up to that quality level.Overall, a lost opportunity to speak out well on the issues and a lot of lost credibility for the author.
Is the review positive or negative?
