- I agree that the book started slow, but, IMO, it didn't really hit its
- stride until late -- like around Chapter 18 or so. I was pretty disappointed
- with the first 175 pages. Long on abuse; short on substance. I hope Rush wasn't
- trying to win over liberals with the book; none of them will read it to the
- point where he starts to score heavily.
- On the whole I like the book, but it's not written for the Limbaugh
- novice. It's solely for the hard core.
