Review: Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America


Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America
Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America by Thomas L. Friedman

My rating: 1 of 5 stars



While I am all for changing the way Americans (and the rest of the world) live, expend energy, and think about global warming, this book was terribly written and I put it down after 100 pages. Friedman couldn't organize his thoughts, was unbelievably repetitive, and repeated the words, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded" what seemed like every page or so. Also, his facts seemed biased towards Americans and his ideas all together unorginal. Perhaps this book would be a useful primer for somebody who is ignorant of the current crisis we're in and has an undisciminating palette when it comes to books.
