Title: He can do better than this...
Review: I've been watching Matthews since early '99, and really appreciate his show. He keeps things moving, cuts straight to tough questions, appreciates how personal and social psychology have a major role to play in politics, deftly mixes humor with intense conversation, and is entirely intolerant of talking points.Unfortunately, this book contains almost none of that personality.Instead, Chris has produced a quick read of generally unprovocative ideas. Each chapter ends with, "Let me tell you what I really think...". So, what, everything before the finale was just baloney? What if he started each chapter with what he really thinks, and then spent the subsequent pages elaborating and deepening those ideas.Frankly, the whole thing smacks of a TV tie-in.I wouldn't dismiss Matthews outright -- his book Hardball is a real gem (read it, if you haven't), and the show still gets interesting here and there.But this book is thin on insight, and long on fancy footwork.
