Besides the fact that Perkins writes like a child...and a dumb one at that. The only stories that hold up to even the most simplistic criticism are the ones he obviously borrowed from writers like Vidal. Anyone buying into this piece of garbage does so simply because they wanted to before they ever even picked up the book. I actually fell into to this category but by page 50 I was laughing by 130 I returned the book to my local library. Please don't waste your time. I find it hard to believe that a man who writes so poorly and spins such apocryphal yarns would ever be in the positions he claims to have been in in the first place. Another hour of my life wasted.
