Democracy in America and Two Essays on America by Alexis de Tocqueville

2.0

This is... well, ridiculous. I'm sure that some people can see the loveliness in the writing style and all that, but to be quite honest, I can't, and neither do I have the patience for this. Only reason I managed to read any at all is because I have an equally ridiculous essay (okay, not entirely true, the topic isn't that bad), but a lot of this is unnecessary. Two stars because I'm sure there was at least a little point in there somewhere. And other people seem inspired by it. Or quote him at least.

Only managed to read parts of Book I and author's introduction, and literally cannot manage any more.
