Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and Their War on You, By Greg Gutfeld Review, 5-1-14
Humor-Political 255 pgs. ISBN 978-0-8041-3853-6

Greg Gutfeld is the author of several other writings as well as the New York Times best seller “The Joy of Hate”. He is also host of Red Eye and co-host of The Five on Fox cable. Self described as becoming a “conservative and, ultimately, a libertarian” his perspectives and style are refreshing, sardonic, sarcastic and irreverent. He takes no prisoners and recognizes no sacred cows. His take on who is “cool”, who is truly cool, and how our views are shaped by these perceptions are articulated in an expose with an unusual candor and style.

This book should be rated PG-13 for its language and cheeky commentary.

I can not say I agree with every opinion, but he has a flair and wit that makes this an enjoyable read. It is worth a look, if just for the fun and laughs, though I believe the readers of this site will find much to appreciate.

Who is ultimately cool? It is not the usual gaggle of power brokers, self promoters and spotlight seekers. It is you; the everyday unsung heroes going about productive lives making the world go around are deserving of that title.

Respectfully,
O.A.

    Hello LS,
    Loved The Golden Pinnacle. I have not read The Joy of Hate, but now I believe I must put it in my queue.
    Thank you,
    O.A.

    Thanks OA :) I have it in queue on my Kindle after One Second After, which follows The Golden Pinnacle (I'm currently about a 1/3 way through and it's awesome. Dangit! I keep forgetting to PM straightlinelogic and tell him how much I'm enjoying his work...thanks for the reminder!) :)
    Have you read Gutfeld's Joy of Hate? I recommend it.
