Review of 'The War on Normal People' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I can’t remember the last time I made it to the end of a nonfiction book. And so glad I did — the last chapter is a stirring call to action. Everyone needs to pay attention to the message of this book. It addresses problems in our society that are snowballing. Yang is the leader our country needs at this moment in time, and I strongly urge you to heed his message.

Thanks for your leadership, Mr. Yang!
