Butch Karp

review 1: I didn't finish this book, hence the one star since there is no place for zero. I remember liking Tannenbaum's stuff in the past, especially court room scenes. This book seems to be mainly a rant against the current president and his administration, badly disguised as characters in the "story," such as it is. There are long passages preaching about the politics of Republicans (always right) and the Democrats (always wrong, and so low, it's hard to see them as human). I never have encountered such bias in a novel before, and it ruined it for me. I never thought about whether Butch Karp was a Republican of Democrat, and, frankly, didn't care. Now, even though I didn't get very far into the book before putting it down in disgust, I'm hoping Karp's political bent is not dis... moreclosed in the book. Even if I overlooked the political bias, I couldn't get into the story because of the long sections that preached politics and foreign policy - who is right, and who is wrong. Who can enjoy a story with constant interruptions to preach politics? Not me.
review 2: I thought Fatal Conceit was going to be a really great book as, with a few name and location changes, it exposed what probably really happened in Benghazi under the direction of the Obama/Clinton reign. But then, things started happening that seemed like they would never happen (as if it were a 'novel,' eh?) and then, around page 370 (out of 448, not 600+ Goodreads), mimicking television's 'Law & Order,' we got into the trial part that went on and on and on and on, and I basically ended-up scanning the last four or five pages. less
