The review was very thorough, however, I just feel this is not my type of book.

Thanks for pinpointing what is the Piketty idea. I really had no idea.
I also like the subtitle of the robots are coming, the robots are coming. It is amusing and for some reason I can relate for some industry are developing AI for used instead of humans. This is for the purpose of lessening errors though it is still on debate.

- Latest Review: Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon
I loved how Hallberg was already building his characters from the first lines:
He does such a great job of using tiny gestures and nuances in conversation to give you this incredibly thorough, effortless picture of each distinct character. For instance, when George referred to Hugo as "Europreppy", it immediately brought an image of Hugo to mind, but also in its disdain showed me more of George's defensive superiority.The sun wasn't setting fast enough. Not for George Dealy.
Knowing the book's theme, I went into it expecting it to be heavily biased--however, while the author's side is always clear, he was far more fair than I expected. Though he clearly didn't agree with George, he allowed him to share his side of the story. I saw his faults but also his humanity.
