review 1: Like the lightest/drunkest pundit show you have ever seen on cable news--lots of opinions but not much depth/explanation.Okay as an audio book while I cleaned the house. I had been looking forward to this book. As a once socially liberally Republican, I was kind of interested to hear more about Meghan McCain's views. After reading/listening I would still like to know her views. I mean the problem with the book is that we get to hear Michael Ian Black and Meghan McCain's opinions (she is in favor of equal rights for homosexuals but opposes gun control, he is an atheist) but that is all we hear before there is a lot of bickering and then some somewhat funny anecdotes about a drunken road trip. If they had spent as much time together as it sounds, I really wish they had pu... moreshed each other more to explain their views/beliefs and not just disagreed....he is a father and he says an atheist, what does he believe will happen when he dies? what does he tell his kids? Meghan has a brother who was deeply effected by serving in Iraq? She says support the troops, but also acknowledges that the reasons for going into Iraq were flawed? How does she reconcile this? Also some parts seemed redundant. Did both of them really have to described Yakov Smirnoff's show in Branson? Though this did also provide the book with arguably its best line when Meghan says about the show "It was the worse thing I have ever seen and I had to watch my father concede the Presidency."
review 2: This book was not very informative. Instead, it more-so a travel journal and less dialogue on American politics. I was excited for interviews with average day Americans, how they vote and why. Sadly the book lack that dialogue. I swear I like Meghan McCain, but she annoyed me to pieces in this book. Her constant 'I love red states' memo was childish and partisan sadly. Also, she stated she believes in freedom of speech and brings up Dixie Chicks stance against President Bush as an example, while contradicting herself by saying she loved how the conservatives did not tolerate the DC's saying negative things about America. In turn she supported country music fan conservatives dictating what freedom of speech is, whatever. I'm pro-DC and freedom of speech but that's for another post in another place. Also, MM hates Clinton and his cheating & lying ways but loves Regain and his Reaganomics that caused America to go into a recession for the first time in US history. Also, in her opinion conservative own the family values thing and liberals lack morals. Of course no facts to back this up but whatever. Michael Black voice was refreshing. He's leans liberal and supports many of its agendas. However, he's not a crazed fan and poses criticism when necessary. Ms. McCain; however, loves her party unabashedly even as she states she's pro-gay. It's confusing to me but who I am to judge. In conclusion, would have loved more interviews with the Americans they came across while traveling the states. Also, MM get over 'freedom does't come free' you can believe in that statement, but Black and others are allowed to not agree or care about your statement. Just are you are allowed to dislike Clinton for his liberal immoral ways, compare to the nice, clean, Godly conservatives you choose to only see. less
