Damaris D. (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.
Jeff P. (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.

Absolutely hilarious from start to finish.
