I seriously thought of posting this in the comedy forum
Wemple credited Maddow for taking her smart TV persona and putting that in between pages:
Though grafting cable formats onto books is generally a bad idea, it works for Maddow, who’s famous for churning out towering monologues on her MSNBC show. That training benefits ‘Drift,’ which pairs storytelling with research and insight...
The first line of Maddow’s acknowledgments hints at one secret to her success, a pointer that Bill “Ten Books in a Decade” O’Reilly might consider: “I’m the slowest writer on earth.”
Wemple failed to note that Pamela Paul wasn’t too snobbish for Maddow. On March 29, 2012, Janet Maslin (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/books/drift-by-rachel-maddow-of-msnbc-traces-american-militarism.html) of the New York Times gave it a rave review, which concluded: “thank Ms. Maddow for picking this and every other fight that ''Drift'' provokes. It will be a smarter public debate than the kinds we're used to.”
And....then it was boosted again in a book review on April 15 (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/books/review/drift-by-rachel-maddow.html?_r=0) by Times national security correspondent Scott Shane: “The book is a reminder that before Maddow became a face on nighttime television, she was a Rhodes scholar who earned a doctorate in politics at Oxford. But 'Drift' is not heavy reading, and her cheerfully snarky voice is instantly recognizable.”
