Oh, this is so not what I expected. I was so disappointed at how political this story was. I couldn't read past maybe 5 pages and tossed it. Not worth reading. What's worse is- I am a liberal! Nope not for me.

I had no idea what to expect from this book, other than knowing it was political satire, but it was an interesting read. There's no doubt what side of the fence the author falls on, and the satire is little more than thinly veiled jabs at the other side. There are many truths pointed out in this book, but they're done in such a way that it's almost offensive. "Many a truth was spoken in jest" doesn't mean that the jokes tick anyone off any less. I had hoped this would be a book I could read with my kids, to help them understand our country's political crisis, but it is too caustic, and inappropriate for children.
