Summary: Greg Palast Speaks Truth to Power
Review: Greg Palast is, what Ralph Nader was. It's that plain and simple. Andrew Jackson was right when he spoke of "corporations that neither have bodies to kick nor souls to damn" Goverment regulation will always be needed against corporations who only think of the bottom line not the American people and the rest of the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They Are Controlling Your Utilities!
Review: I have enjoyed and recommend Michael Moore's two most recent books. However, as a practitioner of rigorous, tireless research into the subject of Bush and his dubious administration, Greg Palast is miles ahead of Mr. Moore. Palast has cultivated numerous insiders in Washington and in corporate offices, who are only too willing to pass on incriminating information about wrongdoing by senior people in government and business. Palast is as much a detective as a journalist. If Moore uses a shovel to dig into his stories, Palast uses an excavator. I admire Palast for his energy level, cleverness and tenacity. My jaw dropped many times as I read his book, finding it hard to believe that people in positions of authority could be so greedy, crooked and nasty. Thank goodness we have people like Greg Palast to offer sound alternatives to the pap we get from the complicit "media giants".

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good book, but....
Review: Thanks God there are people like Palast who still can write about the ugly truth. So, although I agree with most of the points exposed in the book (that are very well researched), my two stars rating is not about the text, but it is due to bad writing style.

The book lacks cohesion and a smooth flowing of ideas. It seems a bunch of previous articles put together in a rush. The result is that it's not an easy reading or logical reading.
