Review of Tipping Point

[Amy Luman]

Strictly political book is not something I prefer reading. However, the review is eloquently written, listing everything that worked as well as didn't work. I agree with your argument that in politics, no one can be all good or all bad. I congratulate you for writing such a great review.

Thank you for commenting!

[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Tipping Point" by Edward Correia.]

Do you understand how the political system in the United States works? Is the outcome ever what the people of the country intended? Have you ever considered what the original framers of the Constitution intended?

They begin by trying to get the members of the electoral college to vote for him regardless of their state’s popular vote and end up trying to provoke the leaders of a Middle Eastern country that is already hostile to the U.S.

The novel mirrors almost perfectly the events of the 2020 presidential election, although it leans heavily on Republican actions.

This book looks like a great pick! I've read quite a bit of dry political non-fiction, so something more entertaining appeals to me! It is a little frightening that people are willing to provoke hostile nation-states for election purposes; however, after the 2020 elections, I guess this shouldn't raise a hair on my head! I can appreciate your stance on being more even-keeled with respect to party perspectives. I enjoyed your review. Thanks so much for sharing!

It IS a little bit frightening. Unfortunately, the ones with power don’t always use it wisely.

RE: "Have you ever considered what the original framers of the Constitution intended?" Yes, and I think they would be appalled at what has transpired in their country.

Great review. I think anything that can explain how politics works simply is a good thing because it can and has been a black box to many. However, I agree with you that portraying one side as all bad and the other as all good takes away from the sense of realism. But you do sometimes have to take them with a pinch of salt and accept that you are reading from the author’s point of bias. It happens a lot, although maybe not as obvious as stories of political elections.

I agree. This is not it!

I enjoyed reading your review; the summary highlighted the important aspects of the plot, and the analysis was honest and to the point. I agree with you; it would have been more realistic if there was a balance and more transparency in both parties' actions, rather than panting one as angels and the other as devils. I guess the author was aiming more for the fiction genre. Thanks for this delightful review!

It's interesting that they spoke of the questionable things one political side did, but not the other. I am not usually into policial books, but this was a great review, Amy

The issues that are related to politics is a really broad topic, no matter how you look at it, there are always ramifications, because not everything is black or white. This book looks interesting.

I need to read this book to get a better grasp of American politics. I have been paying more attention to what has been going on for the past 8 years. This book will provide me with a better understanding of the election process in the USA. Thank you for this informative review.
