Rating: Summary: Badly written fiction Review: I have had an interest in Bob Larson for awhile, ever since I heard his radio show Talk back. I have never been a fan of this guy and I have a very low opinion of what he has done and much of his claims. I am judging this novel not because of the writer but because of the content. Fiction writing-wise,this novel is badly written. The characters' actions and words are artificial, the narration is sloppy, he uses passive word description in scenes describing action, and overall the book is not believable. The claim that Larson wrote this to explain away certain events in his "ministry" IMO has some validity. This novel, which I have no doubt he actually wrote, is vastly different, quality-wise than "Dead Air" which he had ghostwritten for him. If I was editing the book, I doubt a single page would be left unmarked. I would not have accepted this for publication.
Rating: Summary: stuned buy the reality Review: Despite the obvious controversy over Bob Larson's life style and writing, it is my personal belief that he is a powerful and impacting writer for my Jesus. I found this novel to be enlightening and very well written. Although I liked the first two in this series better, I found this novel to be excellent.
Rating: Summary: Pointless rant Review: I agree with Ranger57 on this one. This book seemed to have much more of an agenda than the namesake senator. The plot was weak, and the text was inscrutible. Throw in some stereotypical characters, introduce some characters that appear to serve no purpose other than to make a few in-jokes, and stir. I think it is safe to say that this one is going to be the last of the series. Larson has completely run out of gas.
Rating: Summary: stuned buy the reality Review: I am a 22 year old and I have been in polotics for the past year and a half the realism of this book sets me back as in all three books in this set (dead air,senator's agenda, and abodon) there are three books you just cant put down they need to be read one right after another starting with abodon then dead air then S.A. they will set you back and make you take a look at life and the evil that surrounds us
Rating: Summary: Dirty Politics a way of life Review: I thought I would read this book, a gift. Once I start to read, I do not stop. Even though I have many books written much better than this. This is third of a series of three. All I can say, read this forget the others. The series is not worth anyone's time. It shows the inside of a dirty political race (and trys to say this is how theyare all run). I am sorry to say it is probably so.Not a very exciting read. Pick up any other book and you'll probably be happier. Unless you wish to go into politics...then read it.
