3.0 out of 5 stars
Collection of essays,
By Mr X "A reader" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global Justice (Hardcover)
This book was quite good but I hadn't realised it was a collection of essays from various topics rather than in conventional book format.
Nevertheless the writer is engaging and concise and so the book is easy to read. Some of the issues he reveals will make you very angry....especially at the waster, incompetence and sheer self-centredness of government!

All good stuff but read it all before.......,
This review is from: Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global Justice (Hardcover)
Difficult to rate this one. I would have to be five stars for anyone who has not read George's articles in the Guardian or on his website. But, being an avid Monbiot fan I was disappointed, having ordered a copy, to realise that it was just a collection of his articles (mostly weekly essays in the Guardian) which I'd already read. This wasn't clear in the blurb I'd read describing the book. But if you haven't read much (or any) of George's excellent writing prepare to learn and be challenged. His writing is vivid, radical and wide ranging.

One argument for reading this book,

This review is from: Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global Justice (Hardcover)
Thank heavens for George Monbiot. So much journalism is little more than cheap entertainment - celebrity twaddle, spoon-fed PR puffs and endlessly regurgitated versions of last weeks human interest or political scandal story.
Monbiot must irritate so many of his colleagues for showing what can be done, by finding out some interesting facts and putting them together for himself, in a logical and meaningful way. If you want some insight into how the world really works, read this book, and his weekly columns.
