shannern 's review for:
The Prince
by Niccolò Machiavelli
My rating is not a reflection of Machiavelli's work—because that sure as hell isn't my place to judge—it's merely a reflection of my inability to comprehend 16th century political treatises, and my regret that we went with a very "hey this isn't a normal book" book choice for book club.
I'm still a little confused on if we're pro vs con on being nice to our subjects, but my major takeaway actually comes from one of Michael Scott's greatest quotes on The Office,
"Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."
