Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

[...] This book is mostly a rehash of the previous whines about various leftwing professors, and their supposed abuses. It's not nearly as entertaining as his prior book about his apotheosis, and doesn't really offer anything new or interesting. Just the formulaic list of baddies who I suppose ought to be expunged from University life for crimes real or imagined. Or maybe they should be put in Malkin-run camps. It was hard to slog through this stuff to get to the larger point, if there is one. Perhaps there are some Oedipal/Elektra issues derived from the inculcatoin of Communist ideals from his parents underlying his radicalism. I guess I'd be ticked off too if my parents indoctrinated me so thoroughly into a failed ideology. **For some reason, the powers that be decided to edit out the first 3 paragraphs of this review, which discussed Horowitz's prior book, Native Son, which describes his upbringing in a Communist household and early life as a radical leftist and subsequent metamorphosis into an equally rabid conservative, in favorable terms. The purpose was to illuminate Horowitz's penchant to wildly extremist views whether they be from the right or left. Why Amazon thought that was not germane to a review of this book -- the principal flaw of which is the lack of any balance or perspective -- is strange indeed. How can you excerpt all political content from the review of a book which is, itself, 100% political. More importantly, why would you bother?
