Easily the best review of this book I’ve seen. I know how much work this took, so thank you Sabrina!

[@bookishsabrina]

I appreciate that so much Rick, especially coming from another fantastic book reviewer. Many thanks!!

[@williamvanbenschoten5150]

This review was clear, engaged, and informative. Many thanks for posting it. And thank you for serving your community as a librarian. I too chose to work at a non-profit for perhaps the same reasons you did.

I'm pretty sure Naomi Klein is the sanest person in North America. I'm glad this book is getting some buzz-- thank you for being part of it!

Brilliant review! This book blew my mind so much that I had to stop and take a breather because she is just so insightful and to be honest, she was freaking me out. I will get back to her, without a doubt.

[@bookishsabrina]

My mom said something similar I think, that she just needed to take a break from it. It's a lot!

[@HardcoverHearts]

@@bookishsabrina your mother is smart! 😉

Good summary though I disagree with quite a few things Klein says on individualism/collectivism. Also, only because you see your work outside of the capitalist system does not mean it could exist outside such a system in the same way. But I like your summary 👍👍

I also read this, the audio version, and recommended it to every single person I had any kind of meaningful conversation with for months afterwards. It's brilliant, and she takes great care to back up her arguments with evidence, which in itself shows up the alt -right's nasty habit of just saying something loudly and repeatedly to get you to believe it (opinion and prejudice are *not* evidence).

Fantastic review! Everything you said is exactly how I felt after finishing, only you're far more eloquent 😂 ❤

[@okidokiboki]

I'm so glad you decided to make this review! I've been so curious about this book, and now I really want to pick it up

[@bookishsabrina]

Thanks 😊 I'd love to hear your thoughts if you read it.

Hello there hey there hey there 😊😊

[@briannagill3616]

This sounds amazing. I feel like my brain has gone through an awakening since last fall and this seems like something I need to absorb to maintain that momentum. Thank you for sharing!

[@bookishsabrina]

I hope you get to it and that you love it, too!

[@heathereads]

Sabrina so glad my KZbin feed suggested your content. Appreciate this in-depth review of Doppelganger; I knew nothing about the author or the book. It's on my Amazon wish list now

[@bookishsabrina]

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to watch it :)

[@Facethevibes]

Thank you for the awesome summary ❤

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

Fantastic book. Reminded me of similar themes found in ‘So You've Been Publicly Shamed ‘by Jon Ronson.

[@bookishsabrina]

I always wanted to read that book but never got to it!

[@lorimiller854]

Thank you for your thoughtful and clear review. I'm looking forward to reading this book!

[@bookishsabrina]

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your kind words :)
