Charles Xavier Norris sets out his dystopian vision of a nightmare future in the U of S of A, in this frankly flimsy excuse for a pamphlet. His tendency to refer to himself in the third person is offputting and needless, and his seemingly endless wittering about how he developed his political views through the storylines of 'Walker, Texas Ranger' is beyond interminable. Even worse, the aforementioned political views actually seem to be copied from the wikipedia entry of 'USA in the 50s', but with a higher ratio of misspelt words.
I've never seen desperate flailing come across in written form before, and combined with his limited vocabulary, confused rhetoric and inability to grasp even the basics of primary school physics renders reading this book akin to watching Fearne Cotton attempt a gold run.
4 stars.

Why don't you cover the chapter, "From here to Eternity"? That was, by far, the most moronic part of the book. Where did all these Conservative Christian pseudo-historians come from? Why do intelligent people have to point out, over and over that this country was founded on humanistic Enlightenment values, and not Christian ones? I don't recall seeing free speech, freedom of religion, or the pursuit of happiness mentioned in the Wholly Babble, especially not in the parts where it openly commands followers to commit mass murder, genocide, and steal other people's lands.
