This novel is brilliant and nothing short of a must read. Will Ferguson is a genius.

A stunning, stream of consciousness rendering of American history. It made me ashamed to be part of the human race yet completely in awe of the beauty we could possess if we chose to deal with our bullshit. Fantastic read, but do not go into it expecting another Cunt, because it is not Cunt and that is NOT a bad thing. Cunt did what it needed to do and this book does the same.

This book is so terribly written I can't believe it was published. The story is interesting and heartwarming, sure, but the writing! The author seemed to have a complete lack of the subtleties of the English language. The way he phrases things mucks up the meaning at so many different points in the story, it loses it's charm completely. As well, it's so full of random useless facts it's almost impossible to get to the heart of the actual story. I would not recommend this book, at all.

Very thorough and accurate, yet hilarious. It tends to poke fun at the way history is normally written and it much easier to get through. If they used this in junior high social studies, Canadians might grow up to know something about their own history because it's actually READABLE.

It is addictive and an interesting story but oh-so terribly written. I swear on every page there is something about "narrowing eyes". Definitely meant for those still in junior high or high school, and yet strangely compelling still.

It was alright, but didn't capture my attention like I thought it would. I enjoy A.J. Jacobs writing abilities, I think it was just my anti-religious streak that made it hard to get fully absorbed into it. It's very, very funny at the very least.

This is my favourite book, hands down. I love his writing, even in translation. Brilliant. The story is so engrossing yet so appalling and disturbing. I could literally read this book over and over and over.

Easy, quirky, and dead interesting.

Good, but I preferred Thousand Splendid Suns.

Not my favourite by Winterson, but a delightful story. It's full of strange and humorous quotes and details I kept reading to my friends. Not her best, but definitely worth reading.
