Shattered

Honestly, I found this book pretty tiresome - much like the candidate herself. Certainly, it was informative (though somewhat biased); but it was just a depressing slog through a doomed campaign.

The authors took it pretty easy on someone who was (clearly) a very dirty candidate. There's no mention of the very underhanded way the DNC dealt with Bernie. Instead, they paint Hillary as something of a victim in the whole mess. Since the election, this has essentially been the tone - "poor Hillary" - and it grows old quickly.

This book takes a very sympathetic tone that I just don't feel is warranted. It's fairly honest in most regards, however a lot is left out. And through ommission, Hillary looks like a victim of chance rather than one of her own making.
