Think you understand politics, think again!

What made the experience of listening to The Dictator's Handbook the most enjoyable?

I was angry about the premise because I didn't want to believe it. However, the more I read and the more independent research I did the more I came to believe. That is what is enjoyable about this book, it's a paradigm shift in political human nature!

What other book might you compare The Dictator's Handbook to and why?

I would compare this to, and recommend reading of, "Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty" They should be companion readings to understand global politics and economics.

Have you listened to any of Johnny Heller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first audio book read by Johnny Heller. His hushed, raspy voice was disconcerting at first, but I can't imagine a better performer for the info now. No false accents, or grandiose announcing, just well read hard truths.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not only was this a book to listen to in one setting, but one of the few I know I will listen to again. What it has to tell is vitally important to anyone who votes and controls policy.

Any additional comments?

This should be read in High School so that when those students reach voting age, they won't vote with their heads in the sand.
