This was a marvelously cute tale! While not a difficult read; it was fun and whimsical.

The narrator, Daniel Henning, did an excellent job capturing the characters in tone and timing!

In this book, Tim reflects on the escapades of being a Political dirt finder/generator. While it’s helpful to see some of the reflection, it mostly seems to serve as an attempt at an apology than a real reflection. I am not sure I learned anything here, but I’d you’re looking for something to read to justify an “evilness” of the other side then this is your book. As I read, I failed to find real reflections of how this could be undone or anything beyond “we really underestimated the response to fear”

I thought I understood addiction as a disease. This book takes it to a whole other level. I highly recommend the book for people looking to understand the mechanisms and social attributes of chemical addition and dependency as told from an expert whose lives it!

I am underwhelmed by the scientific rigor in this book. "Empirical" is a stretch. While Sowell provides lots of citations and raw data, he uses then to reach conclusions which fall over to the lightest of logical breezes. Unfortunately, the conclusions which stand to criticism arn’t the least bit new or interesting. I was hoping he would address some of the underpinnings of the discussed disparities, however he all but ignores huge societal factors such as red lining and environmental conditions.

Unfortunately, he often cited opinion pieces who's underlying methods I couldn't find.

I can appreciate the distinction between the types of discrimination, and I believe it to be a useful synchronization of terminology. That doesn't make up for the incompleteness of the rest of the book
