Official Review: The Piketty Problem by Garth Hallberg

[Javier Campos]

I enjoy reading books like these, your review tells me that even though the main ideas in the story are very complex the author does a good job at keeping every interesting and maybe even easy to read. I might try this one!

Thanks for stopping by, it is truly a great read!

What a great review for what sounds like an interesting book! You had me at "the robots are coming, the robots are coming." It's always a good sign when an author can take a heavy topic and make it accessible to the reader. I am off to read the sample.

Great to hear bookowlie, do let me know if you read the whole thing, would love to chat!

[Mtsweni Nelsy]

What a detailed, well-written review. Thanks for it.

[Reuben 92]

Thanks Mtsweni Nelsy, glad you enjoyed it

This sounds EXACTLY like the kind of book I would cherish, a character study with a sizable cast and a satirical plot that treads the line between humorous and harrowing. Good review. I will definitely have to read this book.

Deft plot, great characters, and humorous writing? Sounds like a winner for fans of the genre. A tale revolving around several characters during the 2016 presidential election, and the protest of some of them against using robots in work place, sounds interesting. I don't care for political, sexual, and economic themes, but I am glad you found Hallberg's writing lively and engaging. Thank you for the review!

[LoisCHenderson]

You explain the economic perspective of the author very well indeed.

Nicely done review! This book definitely highlights one of the worst nightmares of the working class. However, I don't see myself reading this one. Thanks again for your review!

I’ll be honest. I almost stopped reading at the first Trump reference because I wasn’t ready to be bombarded by political commentary. However, your review has changed my mind about reading the whole book. Thank you.

Thanks for the review. You make the author's writing style sound so engaging that I wish the subject matter were different. I am full up of politics right now and don't see myself reading anything where either Ronald or Donald looms large. Thanks for the review.

[Jude Austin]

This sounds like a great book! I'm not up on how economy works, so if this book really makes it interesting as opposed to dry like you say, it's going on my To-Read list.

[Alice Heritage]

This sounds like a successful attempt to fictionalize a political issue, with Dealy personifying unchecked capitalism. It would be interesting to find out how the situation with his more liberal opponents resolves.

A fascinating review. I am glad you enjoyed the book. This one is going on my shelf.
