It is an Orwellian wet dream of epic proportions, but The Art of the Lie is also one of those books which chillingly forewarns against the state's appropriation of language and effectively communication to disenfranchise human individuality-the fount of all civic powers. Well worth a read though the intermingling of simple language and academic jargon makes it a foray into headache territory at times. ( ) I was provided an advanced copy of this book by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book had a great premise, and the author's education laid out plans for an excellent argument. However, while I should have caught the reference to Trump's book by the title, this book is basically a treatise about Trump's lying and manipulation by comparing him to other notorious liars, specifically Machiavelli - and as one other reviewer also stated, Trump is nowhere near the intellect of Machiavelli. This book was repetitive, and I'm honestly exhausted with reading about Trump's lying and manipulating; this book had the potential to be a good examination on the subject as a whole, and instead was determined to use one specific subject and run it into the already tired ground. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
