The Washington Post, which has cheered on Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign, is now warning Americans to stay clear of her new campaign book, "Stronger Together."

"You don't need to wade through this book. None one does. No one should. The only people I imagine reading it are future fact-checkers, masochistic book critics and the most strung out political junkies," wrote the paper's nonfiction book critic, Carlos Lozada, in a Sunday review.



And it gets worse for the book, co-written by Clinton's running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.

"'Stronger Together' is an embarrassment: sloppy, repetitive, dutiful and boring. This is a book that, 237 pages in, actually thanks readers for making it that far," Lozada wrote in long slam headlined, "Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine have written a deplorable campaign book."

Apparently, readers agree. The book does not rank on the Post's top 10 list, and is No. 851 on Amazon, which has already slashed the price 39 percent.

Summed up, the review said there is nothing new in the book, that it amounts to a cut and paste job of campaign platforms, and so repetitive that two pages after Clinton and Kaine write, "No one should face meager Social Security checks because they took on the vital role of caregiver," they pen, "none one should face meager Social Security checks because they took on the vital role of caregiver."

Remarkably, said the reviewer, all of the proposed Clinton programs pay for themselves. "Wishful thinking" is a trait in the writing, he added.

The review concluded:

"So it's telling that 'Stronger Together' came out the same week that the Democratic nominee dismissed half of Trump's supporters as 'deplorables' and argued that the other half are the only ones worth heeding. And Democrats are rallying to the concept. Togetherness makes for a nice slogan, but division makes for a stronger campaign."
