This review covers the audio version of Bad Money, which runs 8 cds. I am a fan of Kevin Phillips, so this audio book was a major disappointment. I found the text disorganized, ill-focused, pompous, and too long by a half. It wasn't until well into disk...

Why isn't this guy President? - [24 Nov 2008]
Good book. I was surprised at how right on he is. We are even studying this book as a companion to our Bible Study (who would have thought).

Interesting but lack of attention to the Kindle version - [05 Nov 2008]
I'd give this 3 1/2 stars as I found the content fairly well presented but felt some of the issues were too rushed and could be more deeply examined analytically. It felt like the publisher's deadline was the more important criterion. Also, I appreciate...
