my possibly reliable gatospies™ were able to intercept some early reviews of kiwi prime minister jacinda ardern’s new biography “leading with empathy.”
many were quite illuminating.
this is easily the worst book title since tony fauci’s “standing tall.”
-some snarky internet cat
⭐“let’s face it, they are just horsing around here.”
-american equine digest
⭐ “it’s like anne frank’s diary but retold by SS-sturmscharführer klink.”
-the mew haven register
⭐⭐⭐ “i never thought i would read a character more genuinely terrifying than a stephen king clown, but this one really broke new ground. sincere, believable horror marred by a plotline that seemed a bit over the top.”
-scarybooks weekly
⭐“too unsettling to finish. if jacinda ardern and justin trudeau had a love child, the depth of the uncanny valley it would generate would tear a hole in the space-time continuum.”
-psychology yesterday
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “brave and compelling. the most honest portrayal of courage since OJ’s “if i did it.”
-new york times review of books
and a word from the author:
“i can certainly empathize with those who claim this did not lead anywhere. i sure wish my book sales looked like this…”
-j ardern
