After reading such masterpiece biographies as Caro on Moses or Kinross on Ataturk, Whyte on Hoover comes across as a little light, a little bland, if well-written - but taken on its own merits, I will say that it has fascinating implications regarding the differences between FDR and Hoover, and what could have been.
Loved it as a kid, thought it was dumb in my 20s, now I’ve come back around on this classic sci-fi emo thriller, not only did it inspire a whole raft of culture in its wake, it’s honestly pretty inspiring and touching.
