I have been an avid reader of Grisham's fiction for years and eagerly look forward to each of his new contributions to the legal genre.

This true story did not engage me as much as Grisham's fictional tales. Exhaustively researched...

Reading this book gave me a whole new perspective about life, economics and individual responsibility. It's a must for everyone, even if you are not a student of economics.

Yes, there's nothing quite like reading about the Absence of Freedom written by a privileged white male because, really, who else in American society is less free than white men? Funny, isn't it, how the very same people who rally their readers...

Great insight into the life of a man in the spotlight. Being in the spotlight brings out character. Mike is very transparent and humorous as an author. His humble beginning and his strong Christian values have greatly influenced his...

I bought this book thinking it would be Mike Huckabee's plan for improving the United States from his position in political leadership. While he does touch on things he has done as governor of Arkansas, this book is moreso about what you, me, and...

This book should be avoided! What a waste of time. I read two of his books and found them both self-promoting and factually innacurate!

Politicians who write books touting themselves are really ridiculous!

Kevin Phillips never fails to cut through the historical fog in documenting the sociopolitical forces at work in the shaping of our current society. Definitely worth your time.

In the Republican years before Nixon resigned, I perused the editorials each Sunday in our Joplin Globe. Among the syndicated columnists, Jack Anderson & John Roche passed for liberal; Kevin Phillips & Max Rafferty (former superintendent of...

Mark Levin gives wonderful insight on the most important legal decisions and the men and women who wrote these decisions. He does a particularly good job in discussing Hugo Black and how his anti-Catholicism led to 'separation of church and...

Mark Levin is one of those unmistakable specimens who first appears right in his analysis but under scrutiny quietly slides on rose-colored glasses to see what he desires rather than the whole truth. Sean Hannity is of a similar mold. Both appear...

The first thing I would suggest doing before reading this book or any other political book is to actually read the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. It can be found for free on the internet.

When discussing...

Well written book, however the author does slant some of his writings towards his own opinion. The editor should find a new job! Numerous typos throughout the book.

Robert Dahl does a fairly good job of raking up the dry grass from previous commentaries on the U.S. Constitution. From this grass, Dahl constructs a strawman, that democracy is virtually synonymous with political equality, then concludes that...
