I rarely review books I don't finish, as I generally feel it's unfair to the author. For this book, though, I felt as though I was a choir being preached to. The author said all the things I believe, many of which I'm sure I've heard before - but the documentation was spare, generally noting only direct quotes. Such a book aimed at an audience I don't agree with is one I'd call dangerous, making people more confident in their biases but not making them more informed. I can't support such a book just because it's speaking to Us rather than Them; it's just as dangerous a vehicle.
