Overall, there wasn't anything bad about this book. Goldwater kept it somewhat interesting and it seemed like everything he said had a reason and that he was not rambling. On a bad note, the book was definitely written for an audience that is very familiar with politics. There was very little explaining of many terms in the book. I'm so ignorant to much of government and politics. I don't understand a lot of it and it takes me a while to understand unless I'm personally invested in something. If I were to have this assignment after taking the government course, I feel like I would understand everything better, and that I could actually form an opinion on a lot of things. However, since I haven't taken the course, a lot the things I may say in the previous blog posts may seem quite interesting and may make you turn your head a bit. But hey, I'm trying at least.

My father in an avid reader and he's very active in politics. He's read a bunch of these Bill O'Reilly books and a book written by a really conservative woman who is very recognizable on Fox News. I told he should read the book because he's such a die-hard conservative and I think even him would learn something new about it. The only thing I think he would change about the book is more degrading of liberals. (For future reference, if you were to ever meet my father, don't tell him you're a liberal if you are. He will probably judge you and probably start an argument. Not trying to talk bad about him but that's just how he was born and raised. It's funny as his son to stir him up whenever Obama is on the news to cheer for him. How red he turns is hilarious.) 

Seeing as my knowledge of politics is small, this book helped increase it. It probably would have helped so much more if I had taken the government course before hand. I might have to go back and read after this semester and see if I comprehend it any better. However, knowing me I'll probably never see this book again, unless my dad starts reading it. 

All I want to say is that the last time I went to the doctor the pocket fee was $50 more than the time before even when I went for the same reason. 

THANKS OBAMA.
