Tilde Lowengrimm reviewed Character Limit by Kate Conger
Perfect Journalism; Painful to Read
Reading Character Limit is like watching a man repeatedly punch himself in the face and then blame the people around him for his nose hurting. It is an utterly embarrassing portrait of a narcissistic egotist who believes that he is a genius because he has often been lucky. Musk's purchase of Twitter was a tragedy, in both the literary and dramatic senses. Conger and Mac tell it gently with minimal editorial — why would they need to: these facts are absolutely the worst. RIP Twitter. I could not put this book down.
