I just finished reading it yesterday in the hot afternoon sun. Wow. I've had several people ask me about it while I'm working at the fruit stands. What did I think of it? Is it any good? Is it really well researched or just another typical American Revolution story? So let me tell you. I thought it was one of the most well written, well researched books about our country I've ever read. *granted, that's short list* Yes, its very good. I don't know how some one could read it and ever feel the same about our founding fathers and the early immigrants. I think it should be required reading for every high school senior PRIOR to graduation. I've recommended it to everyone who's asked me about it. And even some who haven't. I could go on and on but you'll have to read it yourself.
My next book selections are from my sister, Meg. *like that's a surprise* I'm starting Same Kind of Different as Me while I sit in the sun today. And then Life is so Good after that. More book reports later.

absolutely perfect for 9th graders. like i said- should be required reading.
Can I have it back now so that I can read it? Really liked Some Kind of Different as Me and look forward to reading dad's copy of Life is so Good.
