Review # 1 was written on 2009-12-20 00:00:00 Lynette Gregory Thoughts of this book arouse many memories in me: History Jeopardy, DBQ's, much sarcasm, a ton of multiple choice questions, invasions "failing because they did not succeed," totally B.S.'d fill-in-the-blank answers written by the Sweetest classmate we've ever had, switching seats and impersonating each other, and hundreds of other memories and inside jokes that I did not write into this paragraph. Although I have many fond memories from AP American History, I do not, repeat, do NOT like this book. It is written in a very long-winded style with emphasis on worthless random facts rather than the important concepts. Who cares if John Adams was the apprentice to a corset maker? When reading it, I found myself growing frustrated with the authors' arrogance. The authors also did not seem to be able to keep their harsh, blunt opinions out of their writing. Don't even get me started on the workbook that came with it. At the end of my sophomore year, I went to HOBY, a leadership conference at the University of Findlay. One of the guys I met was also taking AP American History and happened to use the same book. We had a great time complaining about it and making fun of it over dinner the first day. His opinion of the book mirrors mine. I will never, ever forget the great times we had in AP American History. Many of our workbooks are now ashes, but the memories of sixth period in 2007-2008 school year will last forever. Thanks guys.

Instead, read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. You will find it significantly more impacting, and more historically accurate.
