Killing With Don: 50 Reasons To Make America Kill Again by Jason Carson

4.0

-->I received an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review.<--

While trying to promote his first book Separating You on Twitter Dr. Jason Carson constantly finds himself bombarded with comments on Trump. After finally having enough he decides to write this, a book all about trying to convince Trump to become a serial killer himself.

This is just as smart and insightful as the first. It is also brutal and extremely messed up. It really hits all the same notes as the first which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Any reader of the first will know what's going on here I'd imagine.

Unfortunately, it is also just nauseating. Not for anything the author did himself it is just that I don't care at all about Trump outside of him going away forever. Reading his quotes I found myself disgusted which is what I expected. There's really no getting around the subject matter here, it is what it is.

Replacing the SURVEYS in the first one here are scenarios imagining Trump abusing his power to kill. While clever they don't have the personal touch the first had.

It is not completely lacking in personal touches for the reader however as it is filled with attacks on the left, the right, and everything else. To Carson, no lives matter and he'll make sure you know that before you're through.

I often wondered who the target audience was here because while the idea of the book is that it was written to lure these Trump fanatics in and give them what they want I can't see them reading it and just continuing to post nonsense on Twitter.

There is just no denying the shock factor involved here. There is more to it than that; seeing the same warped mind deal with a charismatic con artist and going back and forth with admiration and jealousy was a lot of fun. Thankfully in the book's favor, it is not very long as again, reading those quotes was a bit much for me.

Fans of the first will enjoy this if they can get past the Trump stuff. Anyone who hasn't read that should read it first and then come back to this.
