This is a textbook on American Politics. It covers pretty much every subject you would expect to find in a textbook on politics. If you have to read a textbook on American politics, this will do fine, but as you would imagine, it can be dry and boring.

When I first began reading this book I didn't think it was so bad. It was modern and updated, had lots of pictures and colors and was nicely organized. As I read through it ( I had to read the ENTIRE book for school) I began to get to the point where I dreaded even touching it. It was hard to comprehend at times and added too many unnecessary details. Worst of all there were typos EVERYWHERE.

I first read this for a Poli Sci 101 class in college. I saw it in a bookstore and decided to refresh my memory, making sure that I had a good understanding of the US government. I didn't realize how neoliberal it is (and in quite a few instances, some of the sentences/passages felt like something I'd see in one of those propaganda movie reels they played during WW2). Would recommend for someone who can keep this in mind while reading it.

I had no love for Political Science, but this text was helpful in understanding what was going on

The information given was much better than the text from the first time I took this class (110) --it covered things that I hadn't heard of until 311! There is, however, a very liberal bias to it. I would give it a 3.5 if I could.
