A review by armysoldier33
Permanent Record by Edward Snowden

2.0

This is not a bad book but you won't find any new information that you haven't read somewhere else. I went into this wanting to know what would make him, Edward Snowden, do what he did. I wish I could say that this book answered that but it actually didn't. Snowden gives a lot of backstory, and I do mean a whole lot of it. Only to build up to the impression he wants to form in your mind. He wants you to be on his side. He wants you to think what he did was OK because he's helping us all and besides, it's the government's fault for hiring him. The book can really drag on and can become quite boring at times. I hoped he would've just written his story without concern of what others may think of him and without an agenda.
