A review by n_ck
Great Expectations by Vinson Cunningham

emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

This is a beautifully written, but often boring book. Cunningham has useful things to say about Obama as a cipher, and does an excellent job of excavating the vibe from some recent history. 

He is a great prose stylist. I just can’t stand his extended relapses into art criticism or circular flashbacks. It makes the book drag something awful and no amount of style can fix that.
