A review by mmccombs
When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s by John Ganz

informative medium-paced

3.5

Hmm that was interesting but something about it didn’t fully click for me. I think I was expecting more of an overview and a clear thesis, but this was more of a collection of discrete events told in a lot of detail that loosely came together. There were chapters I really enjoyed and others that failed to keep my interest, so on the whole I do come away from this knowing I learned new things but don’t think I could exactly explain the main point of this book (other than that time is a circle and that everything is Reagan’s fault).
