A review by jefffrane
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth

2.0

DNF. David Simon has just finished production on a TV series based on the novel and I figured it had to be a good read. It's essentially an alt-history, set in a world where Lindbergh, who was an actual anti-semite, is still considered an American hero and easily wins election to the Presidency. I had to choose a star rating to post this but do not consider my rating a reflection of the quality. This is, after all, Philip Roth and he has great respect for a reason. But it just isn't my cup of tea and isn't what I want to read. It's very very slow and very detailed and the details don't appear to be advancing the story. I look forward to seeing what David Simon has done with it because he yet to let me down.
