Shade: A Tale of Two Presidents

Product Information

My partner just texted me. I told him I had just finished typing and needed to edit this review just now, so instead of my bland “definitely recommend this one” I’ll copy: So, almost a decade later, I found it on my shelf and tried it again. It is ridiculously hard to follow part I, because of the dual narration from the same character at two points in time. The book isn't plot driven, it's a study in four characters (although Janie, of the foursome, is left to founder somewhat).

Now, look. Was Obama perfect? No. But he was a man of dignity and compassion who did his best-- or tried to. I didn't agree with all his policies but I also didn't think he was going to run the country into the ground. A claim I simply could not make with the orange menace. This book compares and contrasts the highs of Obama with the multiple lows of Trump and it's honestly pretty chilling. I liked that Souza ends with a call to action imploring people to vote and talk to their congressmen (and women) if they want change.If it helps any at all, I have many many friends in the US and being an empath and always having had an interest in history, I live in constant alarm that the apocalypse could just be around the corner. In other words, a reminder that sanity lives among us too is always a helpful and even necessary and life-giving thing to cherish. Describing herself as being “like a rabbit in the headlights”, James said the success of Fifty Shades “still confounds me”. Hajera is a former finance lawyer turned creative publisher and entrepreneur. She set up Shade 7 in 2012 and was the first novelty book publisher bringing uniquely aesthetic, engaging, and high-quality Islamic novelty books to Muslim children around the world. Her vision was to help parents raise children with love and attachment to their faith and identity.

I recommend this book as a friendly haven, a reminder of sanity and law, and a reminder that there ARE stark differences between good and evil, much as most in our time do not like those words. I am not saying that Obama was a saint, only that he lived with, by and under the law, tried to work with all branches of government as the Constitution would have him do. And he managed to be a family man and apparent loving husband at the same time. Well enough said. Quite possibly, too much!
