To be quite honest the first 25 pages of True Enough were a bit dry. The concept that Manjoo attempts to portray is very relevant to our class: people often twist the news to coincide with their own ideas. However, the fashion in which he presented the message made it difficult for me to really dive into the book, as I would a novel like 1984. It will be interesting to see where the book goes from here, I guess it can only get better for me.
I'd love to hear more about what you mean by "dry." For example, you might cite a specific passage and reflect on how Manjoo writes--what is he doing that turns you off? I'd be curious to hear.
