Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff par Pappy Pariah
Stop. You'll wind up wanting your 2 and a half hours back. Clarie Fallon unleashes a scathing review in her "Sean Penn The Novelist Must Be Stopped" review at HuffPost, and does a much better job than I in deconstructing the novel. The review is not long but, if you want to skip it, is telling summed up using a partial quote from the work in the last line.
Disappointing - I had read some of Sean's magazine pieces...but this was disappointing. Seemed liked he was using big words for the sake of big words...that made getting to the story challenging. Just couldn't finish.
I would like to meet someone who: read this entire book- I didn’t
And liked it- I absolutely hated it.
I can’t imagine anyone liking it.
It as if the author wanted to prove that if you are a celebrity (the author is the actor Sean Penn) you can do anything. You can type a bunch of letters that become words and fill entire pages with alliteration and have a whole book about absolutely nothing, and get it published and get paid for it! If that was the goal, he succeeded 1000 percent. Analyzing a steaming pile of dog shit for it contents would be far more entertaining than trying to make it through this whole book.
Funny enough another book I read long ago that was absolutely terrible- but now seems like Shakespeare compared to this, was Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell that was the first fiction book I read that had pages and pages of footnotes. This horrible book by Mr Penn also has a lot of footnotes which are more interesting than the book.
Thank go the book was on sale for $2.00 but the reader should be paid $1000.00 for even opening this awful waste of paper.… (plus d'informations)

This is a hard book to review. On one hand, the writing itself - beautiful use of alliteration, the vocabulary, the pacing - was great. I found myself wanting to rewind several passages just because I loved the way they sounded.
But there was too much on the other hand to make it an enjoyable experience. I struggled to finish this two-hour long audio book. First and foremost is Sean Penn's narration. I expected to be swept up in the story right away. I mean, Penn is a world-class actor who wrote the book he's reading. Who could have done it better? Unfortunately, he mostly just droned on in a monotone that couldn't stop me from zoning out regularly.
The voice of the computer breaking in numerous times in each section to provide what amounted to info dumps - even if they were brief - was annoying, to say the least.
Overall, I didn't care a bit about what was going on and by the time we got to the parts about Drumph and the election, I was counting the minutes until the book was over.
But it's another book toward my 2019 goal and only two hours wasted.
