megankass 's review for:

A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America by Bruce Cannon Gibney

DID NOT FINISH

---

Gibney makes good points, but unfortunately, the only people who are going to hear them are those who are already members of the choir (me). The way the information is presented is 100% blame, clearly coming from a place of deep frustration and resentment. It's understandable, and I'm in a similar emotional mindset, but the attacks against Boomers were too uncompromising for Boomer readers to stomach, and too unbalanced for other groups to be convinced. This was more of a rant with a lot of facts than a reasoned debate. The facts do support Gibney's theory, but the presentation needed a lot more polish.
