Review of In Plain Sight
Posted: 31 Jul 2024, 09:43
[Following is a volunteer review of "In Plain Sight" by Susan Mallett.]
2022, as we know, was a pretty rough year. We were just coming out of the pandemic, and vaccines were flying around. There was a really biggy on whether to vaccinate or not to vaccinate, and so forth. Fast forward into the year, and Russia invades Ukraine, then Boris Johnson resigns, and then we see the UK has two other prime ministers. Then England lost her great monarch. Tension between NATO and Russia continues to rise, and so forth. In Plain Sight: 2022 by Susan Mallett captures the key events of 2022 and is set to offer a historical, but not so distant, journey into the past.
I like how the author designs the table of contents. Initially, she doesn't start writing the news on time, and the first major detail we see in this book begins on January 20th. From then on, throughout January, she squeezes the information and jams it together. The real fun begins in February and beyond, as, through the table of contents, we can easily choose a date that we want to visit and then tap on it. So if you know any day in 2022 that a major event occurred, all you need to do is tap on that date, and it will take you there. I found the 19th of September to be heartbreaking for me because that was when we said goodbye to the great monarch. It was the first date I looked up to see what the author would write on it.
This book offers a fun experience for anyone who wants to review 2022. The book has nothing that I could criticize. The narrative is perfect, and the idea behind it is genius. The book I also edited was flawless, and I couldn't pick out a single error in its narrative.
Overall, I commend Susan for a job well done, and it is because of these reasons that I have decided to award this book a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to anyone looking to review the year 2022.
