Max Boot: dishonest to boot.

Max Boot: dishonest to the max to boot.

I suspect that many reviewers, perhaps Boot in this case, just skim the books they are reviewing rather than giving them a good, honest read. That would be especially true if they felt an axe to grind before starting.

Thanks for posting this! I was considering adding this book to my library, now I am certain I will.

You wanna ease up just a bit on those negative references to "Boot"?

Great book, I’m looking at it in my shelf right now. Very “accessible”.

I’m a big fan of books written for non readers, using breakout quotes, illustrations, and funny asides as devices to entertain average readers. While I prefer old school books (100% text) myself, I like to loan out these sort of books (politically incorrect guides) to disgruntled liberals and folks on the fence.

They are a VERY useful tool in changing hearts and minds.
