Book Reviews of This Land Is Their Land: Reports from a Divided Nation

Book Review: Too short, too lite, too much like a Michael Moore book
Summary: 3 Stars

A witty collection of short articles on a lot of the key political and social problem areas of the United States. Thematically linked into areas such as health and work.

However, it is much too short (I think I finished it all in a couple of hours, maybe less) and so it comes across much too like one of those angry/radical-lite Michael Moore books than any of her previous books.

I highly recommend her other books which cover the social issues and ills of US society very well through her embedding herself in the lives of others less fortunate. Read this book when you've finished them and prepare to be slightly disappointed.
