Review of 'Mcsweeneys 33' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I don't think McSweeney's achieved their goal, here. The included magazines were nice, and the entire thing is pretty. But none of the reporting felt deeply investigative or professional, with meandering stories and unclear conclusions the norm. The paper mill piece is probably the worst example, and the headline bridge piece probably was the strongest, though in need of more aggressive editing.

Really, it left me wishing the effort had gone towards more fiction and a "normal" issue.

[Unrelated to my overall impression, this vegetarian found the entire food section a bit disgusting.:]
