The News: A User’s Manual is an insightful analysis of the impact of the incessant news machine on us and our culture.
   The news is everywhere. We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face daily, which has a huge influence on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. Alain de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories—including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview, and a political scandal—and submits them to intense analysis. Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? De Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, designed to bring calm, understanding, and a measure of sanity to a news-obsessed age.

Great Bang for Buck! SIZE DOWN!
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
The Quality of these shoes are great! They feel good, are a deep brown color, the stitching is good, all in all great shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in making them a versatile choice for any occasion. My only issue was sizing. As everybody says these shoes run big, I am usually a 10.5/11. I went with the 11s and they are slipping off my heels. Size Down!

Out of box review: Love it, comfortable and looks great, has bit of a thicker sole than expected. Definitely size DOWN (One size down fit perfectly)

Overall very good
Size: 9, Color: Black Faux Leather
I liked these loafers very much. The sizing was true, and on point. Fit was comfortable, and the sole’s height wasn’t too exaggerated. Overall very satisfied given the price, however I do wish they looked a bit more luxe,

Size down
Size: 7, Color: Brown Faux Suede
These are my absolute favorite loafer! I wore them to my company Christmas party and got so many compliments! They run big though. I wear a mens size 8.5 (usually 8 in dress shoes) but was able to get these in a mens 7 and they fit perfectly!
