Which books did you read?
Trey Gowdy's new book, Doesn't Hurt to Ask, and Mark Levin's Unfreedom of the Press.
I thought that Gowdy's book was great and coherent, and I really enjoyed, though I'm left wondering if I'm missing out some great info by having it so condensed.
Regarding Mark Levin's book, I thought it was poorly done and mostly rhetoric, but I don't know if that is a reflection of the original or a product of the condensation process.
