review 1: I intended to read 2-3 of Moyers interviews but during one setting I couldn't put it down. Fascinating, intelligent, well thought out answers from some of the greatest minds exploring some of the most pressing issues. I like how some of these experts break a subject down to the most compelling aspect, the answer that I want to know but felt too overwhelmed to look up. So a nice way to get condensed answers to complicated questions. At this stage, particularly dealing with American involvement in the Iraq war and our energy dependence. Moyers is such a good interviewer. I've only read a handful but intend to read more this weekend.
review 2: Wow, this book is exhausting. Good exhausting and well worth the time, but I feel like I just completed the literary... more equivalent of a race (this is where I will mention that, if you do decide to read this book – which you should – buy a copy and space out the reading). Comprised of interviews Mr. Moyers conducted between 2007 and 2010, the people featured in this book come from all walks of life and backgrounds and cover a variety of subjects. There’s not a bad interview in this book – some are better than others, but even the weaker ones are better than the vast majority of modern journalism. The interviews are thought provoking and surprisingly deep for the relatively few pages each take up. In around 550 pages, readers have the chance to peruse a variety of subjects and topics as discussed by intelligent, informed individuals – in a way, it’s like reading cliff notes on dozens of nonfiction books and subjects. The interviews average around 10 pages each, making this a great book to pick up and put down at a reader’s leisure. Highly, highly recommended. less
