A review by kimball_hansen
The Assault on Reason by Al Gore

2.0

The first and last part of the book were interesting when he talks about the influence of television and the internet. Had it been left at that I'd given it another star. But he chose to repeat himself on a number of occasions about his opinions on the war in Iraq (which he states as facts) and how much he hates George Bush (apparently he's still very bitter because he lost the election and won't just let things go until he's dead). I didn't care for his Global Warming theory either. But what irritated me the most was how hypocritical his political stances are. Only once did he admit that both political parties may be wrong. The rest of the 1000 times he attacks the Right Wings and comes off as arrogant, holier-than-thou and extremely judgmental. All I could think of while reading this was how is Obama or the Democrats any different than what he's saying? I'm surprised I finished it this book. I had to really force myself. The long-term effects of developing greater Willpower through reading it will prove more beneficial to me than anything written in the actual book itself.

Al Gore should have had the title of the book as The Assault on George W. Bush - Why one proud man is still bitter after losing the election 7 years ago.

I liked the narrator of the audiobook [a:Will Patton|1004238|Will Patton|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1431656803p2/1004238.jpg].
