Joan A. T. reviewed California---political and cultural--for generations of her family...title is apt enough on 7/10/2009 + 4 more book reviews

This is a sophisticated book, for deep thinkers. More a book, I think, like a writer's book for writers. Writers will like it a lot. Didion writes about the way American consciousness arises from our geneology, history, past and present experience. Anyone who may want to understand the way many American's think will want to read this. It's entertaining, but mostly insightful and educational. if you're a thinker, try this. If you want a thriller, go elsewhere.
