This is a very humorous take on American history by someone who obviously loves our country but just can't help herself from poking fun at our forefathers of the Puritan persuasion. I was disappointed the author had to make jabs to show her very liberal leanings; it detracted from the general jocularity of these essays. Sarah Vowell lampoons everyone from John Winthrop to Roger Williams, to Anne Hutchinson. She weaves an amusing tale; American history will never seem the same.
Frankly, I really didn't like the author reading this book; I would have preferred someone else to have spoken her words. She may be a regular on radio/TV, I don't know. But her delivery left much to be desired.
