Disappointing, more a sum of anecdotes on the city than a book on the Free Town project
3 stars
I have been wanting to read this book for a long time after I read the excellent article by its author in an online media. Maybe I had unrealistic expectations, but I was quite disappointed by this book. The author is a local journalist from New Hampshire and you see that tone quickly in the book: rather than documenting the project itself, it is a sum of local anecdotes, some on the Fee Town project, some on bears and some on the regions. Overall, there are some interesting parts, especially reading about concrete examples of this disastrous project, but there is very little said about the creation of the project itself or on libertarian ideal. Too bad for such an interesting story
