Book Reviews of The Culture of Fear: Why Americans Are Afraid of the Wrong Things
Book Review: Amazingly convincing and fun to read.
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I bought this book yesterday and I'm already half-way through it. What does that tell you? The subject matter is anything but LITE. The parts I've gotten to so far are about kids who shoot up schools, murdering mothers, conservative nut cases, etc. etc. etc. Thing is, he's a GOOD writer. He totally keeps your attention. He even changed my opinion about some things, which any one of my friends will tell you is definitely not easy to do!
