Excellent book. Twists that you did't see coming.
A creative and funny look at the corporate world, the first-person plural narrator works well. Employees at an advertising agency that is going under try to come up with a PSA to make cancer patients laugh at the disease. There are some dull points and moments of repetition, but the book moved quickly and mixed humor with the tragedy of the mundane perfectly.

I was prepared by the early pages to really enjoy this book but ended up forcing myself to finish. Not that the book was it was bad, but it was just so terribly predictable and a bit boring. I did enjoy the language at times, though I fear that my enjoyment was rather I overshadowed by the authors own. I felt like I was reading an author congratulating himself on the quality of his craft all the while forgetting to tell a compelling story.

I really enjoyed this book. It helped connect a lot of dots for me. We don't often get a "big picture" of Queen Victoria. A lot of the stuff I've seen and heard of her was caricature. There was a lot more to her life and times than I had seen on the surface. This book was also great for a concise summary. Most of the time, if I just want an introduction or an overview, I have to read a kids book, but this wasn't a tone that was talking down to me like a kid. I appreciated that. The down side was that there are a couple of places where the author makes reference assuming that the audience knows more about what's going on than they do. I'm sure it's hard in a small book, and maybe some of the things were also because I think she was assuming a British audience. There were just some times when she would throw something out and move on leaving me thinking, "What?" I'm glad that I also checked out a larger book about Queen Victoria. I'm hoping to have a chance to read it and maybe fill in some more blanks in my understanding.

This book may not be for some...i couldn't put it down. It is disturbing...but the author somehow makes it "ok".

This and Russian Thinkers would make a perfect introduction to leftist revolutionary thought of the 19th century. Not finished with it yet, but so far it's good, though I have some quibbles. [ETA: finished; loved it.] It corrects the common perception that Communism was an invention of mostly Marx and partly Engels by detailing the movement's antecedents in Saint-Simon, Fourier, Owens, and others, most of whom were inspired in turn by the French revolution. I hadn't realized that in the case of both Marx and Engels, it really did take a village. The sense of genealogy goes a long way toward removing early Communism from the drawing room and planting it in the streets, and also makes Marx look a little less original, but considering his sophistication compared to the lunatics who inspired him, it makes him look smarter, too. On the other hand, the book necessarily engages its protagonists' ideas in broad strokes. That's OK, but at times Wilson needed to rein it in. We are told that the newly empowered French postrevolutionary bourgeoisie's "ideas" became "vulgar"- excuse me? Wilson is comfortable with the nuts and bolts of the labor theory of value, but as Menand points out in the excellent introduction, he's fuzzier when it comes to dialectic. (Menand observes that Americans are uncomfortable with the both/and nature of Hegelian philosophy, preferring to give things "thumbs up or down." Thus we here are saddled with leftists whose abstemiousness leads them to expect to save the world by buying only organic lettuce.) Why not start with Hume or Kant or Hegel or Fichte? Because, Menand implies, Wilson liked writing stories about eccentric industrialists more than he liked discoursing on Feuerbach. Who can blame him? It's an unusual intelligence that can assimilate stories about Marx's romance with Jenny von Westphalen but can't bear to muster more than a few sentences on The German Ideology. The other thing this book lacks is a sense of the complexities of Russian politics. After reading Orlando Figes' book on the Revolution, I was impressed with how many different factions had to fall into place just so during the period 1905-1917 for the Bolshies to win the day. Wilson has nothing but derision for the very important Populist movement and does not even mention the Slavophiles, opinions on whom split the Russian intelligentsia down the middle for such a long time. All in all, Wilson approaches 19th century nationalism as a blip on the radar where most sources today seem to see it as much more influential than that. But this book was written nearly 80 years ago, and if it had said everything I wanted it to then reading it would have been pointless. Engels comes off better than anyone here. Wilson lovingly details his tireless support of the Marx family despite Marx's insensitive and obnoxious nagging, and manages to make Engels' business dealings consistent with his ideology. This is no small feat. Engels was the convivial one; Marx was the crank, and once Marx died, Engels took to having dinner company over again, remarking that he had been underrated while Karl was alive and overrated after he died. While Karl and the subsequent savageries of Lenin and Josef "Care Bear" Stalin make it hard to read this book with too much sympathy, Engels makes it all seem like it could've worked. What an astounding work of narrative history, though. I heartily recommend this to anyone with an interest in 19th and 20th century European politics and thought.

Although I love Kiyosaki, I don't think everyone is responsible enough to do what he says and stay out of trouble. I would reccomend this book however to anyone. He teaches common sense to a Nation filled with none.
