review 1: On the plus side, it's a very engaging read. Further, it gives you a sense of how much work and politicking it really requires to (almost) get big legislation done in Washington. On the minus side, Pooley is so blatantly partisan about a few issues that this book is anything but a balanced story. Sure, there are plenty he criticizes who deserve criticism (e.g. Inhofe et. al.), but I'm not sure this is a story best told by a Gore/EDF sycophant.
review 2: This was very detailed and a bit difficult to read. However, I found it quite interesting especially in the following fact: Many of the PR types who worked for the tobacco companies delaying the conclusion that tobacco is bad for you then went to work for the climate deniers' groups doing exactly the same spinni... moreng of lies. If only for that vital info, I would recommend this book! It gives a lot of background that should be known if you're trying to find out about the subject. less
