minus-squarenikt@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoI made an attempt a few years ago, but the way this book was written really hasn’t aged well. I found it dull and patronizing and gave up. Philip Roth’s “The Plot Against America” is a much better book if you ask me, dealing with similar themes but written more recently.
