5.0

Definitely one of the top five books I’ve read this year. Mr. Wright does an excellent job of writing of the strengths and weaknesses of Texas and Texans, humanizing people and breaking down monolithic myths. His viewpoints, insights, and autobiographical detail are touching. His tutorial on Texas politics and their importance on our national politics shows his mastery. The book is written as it only can be from an intelligent and observant native son.
