It should be noted that the first one - star review I ever gave to a
book was to one whose author is not only more or less aligned with myself politically, but is a
moderately - famous blogger, whose beliefs needed (and still do) far more representation than they have, and whose (free for the taking) contribution to the world's supply of
useful non-fiction is prodigious, ongoing, and much appreciated by a large population of readers which includes myself.
