U. S. Government and Politics Book

I'm so so glad our class went through this book. It's a great group read, for those of you who want to learn more about politics but don't know if they should do it alone or not. I probably would have missed a lot of what it was talking about if we hadn't been going through it together and bringing up questions as we read. If you want to really get something out of it, take it slowly, really think about what it says, and don't worry about it if you don't get everything they're talking about.

I loved how simple the book is, it's not too confusing, and it's unbiased from what I could tell. I love how it presents everyone's concerns and beliefs and doesn't say which one is right, but says here are the strong arguments for x, here are the weak arguments for x. Here's what would benefit from x, here's what would suffer from x. Here is who is for x, here is who is against x. Here is why those people are for/against x. You get the idea, it's very factual, practical, and straightforward and I really appreciated that. Plus, they cover more than just government, they do a lot of "social" things, so that it's not all about law and politicians, it's also about how society changes this or that, and I don't really know how to explain it plus I'm terrible at writing reviews, so just go ahead and find a review that's concise and interesting :P
