Truthfully I did not learn very much from this book, but that's more kudos to my AP Gov & Politics teacher (also the current political climate behooves me to pay attention since I just reached legal voting age) than any reflection of the American [public] education system/curriculum. Nonetheless, all good information presented in an unbiased (!!!) way while offering commentary on the system and its flaws/strengths.

The writing itself was clear and coherent, but not exceptional. Maybe it's because I read the eBook, but the formatting on some of those sidebar tables made them hard to read/understand. I also would've liked a wider variety of visuals: give me all the charts and graphs, that's how I best process information. That said, the anecdotes and other concrete examples are well chosen for illustrating each point.
