Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-15 00:00:00 Debbie Mcevoy This book was really interesting because it centered on the legal system, Constitution, and the laws in America. Sounds boring right? But then it goes into all of these real-life cases when teens in America have brought their issues to court to earn their rights as citizens. Some of the teens were protagonists and others deserved to be in jail, but these cases are ones that have been used in reference for other adult's cases. Teens really have changed our country and it was cool to read about all of the descriptive court cases.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-12 00:00:00 John Powers At first glance, this is the kind of book you find in the Barnes & Noble discount section by the dozens. I picked it up at a used book shop in San Francisco. There was a 50/50 chance I'd ever read it. At first I would glance ever now and then through a section. I was struck by how interesting O'Connell's analysis was and resolved to read the whole book. My expectations were well met. O'Connell's brief analysis of this seemingly endless topic was masterfully concise. And, not only did he approach the subject from a technological level, but a sociological one as well. This efficient account of the evolution of technology and society was just enough to paint a vivid picture of history without getting stuck in the details AND keep the reader hungry for more information. Well done sir.
