Thank you, Atria Books. for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished Black Pill: How I Witnessed The Darkest Corners Of The Internet Come To Life, Poison Society And Capture American Politics.

This book is based on interviews that the author did with members of the “alt-right” movement. She has spent years as a journalist covering that movement. While there is discussion of online activity, the book does focus much more on the real-world actions rather than what is just discussed online.

Among the best chapters of the book were the profile on the creator of 8chan and the discussion of “free speech.”

There was a lot of good information in here about the individuals involved in the movement and its threat to the country. I give this book an A. Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
