It's a really short book by his standards and I'm about halfway through. It just seems like his publishers asked him to write a propaganda piece that he knocked out over the weekend. It doesn't flow or tell a story like his other books.

What's funny is the entire book is devoted to telling the reader about how we need big government to protect us, yet most of the examples he gives shows just how incompetent they are, but then goes on to point out without big government those failures would have been much worse.
