I'm a huge fan of his and agreed with 98% of what he had to say in this book. It's really kind of a "rant" more than anything else. You can hear his voice as though he's speaking directly to you - and there are times when he just goes on and on because he's so excited and there are no punctuation indicators and no pauses and he keeps going and going and you have to almost catch your breath while reading . . . whew!! He's pretty much dead on, though, with his views on why/how the rest of the world views Americans the way they do. He does veer off in a few chapters on differences between men and women in general, but it's very funny stuff. I found that it was a book that I picked up and put down - had to do it in chapters, really; not a book you plow through in a day or two (at least not for me.) Look forward to chapters such as "Autism Shmautism", "Matt Dillon is a Giant Fag" and "We'd Hate You Even If You Weren't Black."
