“There were a couple stories that were interesting and fun to follow, but a lot of it was just not my speed. I was bored and had to really work to get through it. Super disappointed.”

“Barack Obama is the greatest threat White America has ever faced.
For some reason I've always enjoyed watching SciFi shows like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, and Black Mirror but I've never been a fan of reading SciFi. I don't know why, Its just always been true.
When I first saw The Obama Inheritance, I assumed it was an Obama bashing book written by Republican lunatics. I was very happy to discover that it was in fact just the opposite. The Obama Inheritance is a collection of stories based off the wacky conspiracy theories that Republicans made up about President Obama. This collection includes stories about President Obama's "real" birthplace, Obama's ties to the "deep state", and the vast Left-Wing agenda.
I'm giving this collection 4 Stars because it was so entertaining and a really fast read, though I thought the best stories were at the beginning with the quality falling off towards the end.
Here are my top 2 stories and my bottom 2 stories: My absolute favorite story was ...The Continuing Mission, in which we discover the true birthplace of not only Barack Obama but his trusty sidekick Joe Biden. My second favorite story was Evens, in which we discover Obama's diabolical plan to ensure the Supreme Court stays the way it is. My least favorite story was Give Me Your Free, Your Brave, Your Proud Masses Yearning to Conquer, the least said the better. My second least favorite story was At the Conglimeroid Cocktail Party, I didn't think it had a plot.
Overall it was a fun read and if you enjoy your Science Fiction mixed with some Politics this collection is for you.
Popsugar 2018: A book you borrowed or that was given as a gift.”

“I enjoyed the concept very much. However, the stories were very inconsistent so my overall rating is only 3 stars.”
