"The reason why I wanted to read America (The Book) was pretty simple. I mean, I love The Daily Show. I think Jon Stewart is completely hilarious.
America (The Book) is a strange and completely skewed view - or guide - from America's inception, from our founding fathers, to modern politics; but the same time, basically throwing a blind eye to facts, logic, and truth. It's written in the same style of prose as it would be of a high school yearbook - or text - and I was like, "Oh, wow!" It's really well translated into the book; I was kind of wary of it at first, because that was just like a cheap kind of tie-in, but no, it's consistently funny. There's so many just silly things within history that can just be used as humor that I think they decided to take up the ball and go for it.
I wouldn't even just recommend this to liberals, 'cause the ideas I mean, it doesn't just - I mean, it skews basically everybody. I would recommend anybody just - anyone interested in politics that just kind of wants just kind of like a silly read, because at the same time it's like - it's silly, but I mean it's like a 300-book tome. It's like, there's a lot of stuff in there, it's like a lot of subtle, wry stuff in there. People that are - people that like comedy to maybe try _____________ maybe kind of like political humor. I would give America (The Book) three and a-half start out of five. Or four stars out of five."
