A review by thefriendlyabyss
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

3.0

I picked up The Plot Against the America, because of the premise. It seemed like a neat surprisingly relevant book that came at our current climate of politics from an intriguing way. That being said, the book in my opinion fell a little flat. I think that's mostly because the book is tied to the perspective of a little kid, causing the cool premise to kind of fade into the background, half-rushed and half-unexplored.

That being said, I still enjoyed reading though it can get a bit slow and dull in certain sections. In other sections the potential of the book really shines through. In essence, a mix bag of satisfying drama and childish emotion. You decide!
