This was a fun read. I loved that the main character isn't insta-accepting of discovering witches are real. Way more believable that she thinks everyone is a lunatic. lol The longbottom effect was a bit strong, but no insta-love so that was great. I look forward to seeing that relationship develop in the next story. Over all the mystery was well laid out, and the foreshadowing was on point. The characters were all unique, and interesting to get to know. Will be checking out the next in series. ( )

All the horrors of the Clintons are hard to imagine, but I thought I had a pretty good idea. This book exposes them even more for me. I'm sure we will have female presidents, but thank god Hillary won't be one of them. That bribery "foundation" she ran, defrauding all the Bernie supporters, attacking the women her husband assaulted, letting the ambassador in Benghazi get killed and dragged through the streets, lying about it being about some video (and having that videomaker arrested to support the lie), etc., etc.

A Hillary presidency would have been a path of such utter corruption we may not have survived. And what happened in the Election of 2016, a 3-year-long hoax founded on an absolutely juvenile "we saw him pissing on hookers" document, makes Watergate look like a jaywalking incident. ( )

A look at the 2016 US presidential election and its key players, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Doug Wead gives us his take on why he believes Clinton failed and Trump succeeded. He delves into their personal lives, stretching way before the election. It's interesting to read the things that the mainstream media didn't pick up on. Worth a look if you're interested in American politics. ( )

From the cover of the book, I expected it to be somewhat partisan. "The inside story of Hillary Clinton's failed campaign and Donald Trump's winning strategy". However, I was unprepared for what lay inside.
Wead not only completely and utterly lays the fault of everything from the fall of America to the crucifying of Christ at the hands of Clinton, he totally absolves Trump as the second coming of Christ himself. While utilizing great journalistic prose such as "the first lady ALLEGEDLY answered. The story was APPARENTLY corroborated by others". Granted, Clinton was a deeply flawed candidate, with a huge trunk of baggage and an apparent dislike of the truth, but to have to embellish her story with the use of allegedly and apparently is the work of a jealous high schooler who has been thrown over for a prom date. It would have been so much more effective to just lay out the facts, and let the reader make up their own mind.
Wead takes just the opposite tack with Trump. Not a word of dissent was spoken against him. Instead, readers learn of Trump's conquering of his military school, his unquestionable belief in God, and his single-handed saving of New York City in the 1970's.
Not satisfied with merely trashing Clinton, Wead turns his eye on the "evil media". Such as "CNN covered the quote, but then added its own commentary; it couldn't trust the viewers to hear Trump without a filter". And, "But the major American media had already picked the winner and they weren't interested in narratives that might confuse their audience".
I honestly could not stomach the entire book. I made it through the first 40%, by holding my nose and trying to give it a fair read. Perhaps it is too soon to objectively look at the election as the battle between two deeply flawed candidates. Hopefully we will learn from this round and improve in the future.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I only wish it was possible to assign a negative number of stars. ( )
