This book succeeds when it focuses on the characters from the show, and less so on its attempts to bridge miscellaneous unrelated conspiracies from American history.

In the afterword, the author says “this is not a blueprint.” And the book is most successful to me when I agree with that point. At times it can feel a bit didactic. But by the same turn, I stayed up considerably later than I should have to finish it. So it was that compelling.
