It slices, it dices! So how much would you pay? But don't answer because wait, there's MORE!

Uhs. Sorry. Wrong review. My bad.

This book is exactly like the show. Except I can take it into my bathroom and have a nice look without all the wires and risk of electrocution. It really is like reading the history of the country in a way that both informs you and makes you giggle like a girl in the tub without the fear of electrocution.

Also I can guarantee it's the most informative book about American Democracy Inaction that has the all nude Supreme Court review! Don't worry though, their clothes are conviently placed on the next page. For modesty's sake i'm sure.

So all in all I give it a good five thumbs up.

Not as good as the show, but along much the same lines. Definitely an amusing overview of our form of government and how it works. If you like the show, you should like this. If you don't like the show, why are you even looking at the book?

Very funny satire of the history of our democracy. I would have rated it higher except for the textbook style, which I didn't care for. It was also very crude in spots, and absolutely nothing is sacred including the founders of our country. It was very funny but did bother me a little. Overall, it was pretty entertaining.

I really enjoy the audio version of this! The different voices add a lot of fun to the experience. And this is a great way to bring some light-headed silliness to a subject that can be quite boring at times.

I think a lot of the cussing is rather unnecessary, but it's easy enough to gloss over that and it doesn't detract much at all from the rest.

Nothing unexpectedly funny. Maybe a step up from bathroom humor.

Not all that funny, in my opinion. Mildly amusing, but gets too close to the truth in places, and it descends into bathroom humor too often. Oh well.
