Not What I Was Expecting

I guess I was looking for some kind of overview of the RNC story arc over the last few decades, and the eventual January 6 race riot? Insurrection? Invasion? No matter --this book was definitely not that. What was it, you ask? That's harder. A slog. A weirdly paced narrative of the Republican party's drama, with some portions agonizingly detailed (meaninglessly so, to me), and others oddly skipped over. I found myself paging back to see if I'd missed something, but no, in fact, I hadn't. The author just glosses over some things that to me seem important markers (like, for example, the fact that 45 won the election), while dwelling interminably on other aspects of the goings-on behind closed doors. I'd hoped there would be some kind of recommendation, hope, something. But no, it was just a giant downer. Ultimately, I was counting the pages until I was finished, and this will not be a book I keep.
