Summary: Best Book for Young College Students
Comment: D'Souza's writing is refreshing and enlightening - any student who feels adrift in the liberal tide at his or her university will read this book and find a soulmate. This is where it all begins, after all. D'Souza makes being a conservative just as strong a conviction as being a Christian or card-carrying Republican, and reminds us that we need be neither to understand and corroborate conservatism. He's inspiring and I hope this book touches you like it did me.
Rating: 4
Summary: A Polarizing Work
Comment: D'Souza is a polarizing figure, like most conservatives: One either likes what he has to say and feels attuned to his sentiment or one totally disagrees with his stances and beliefs. There seems to be no in-between with D'Souza. That aside, he does offer some important advice to his fictional young muse, Chris. It is no surprise that Basic Books chose this collection of letters for the "Art of Mentoring" series. Like most mentors, D'Souza provides his young protégé, really the young persons of tomorrow who might come upon this book, with information, some of it polarized and obviously related to an agenda and yet some of it fair and balanced. This book is a good pick if you're so inclined toward the conservative side, it's an even better pick if you're not. D'Souza explains most conservative reasoning on relevant issues in the cultural and moral fields. Perhaps a more apropos title would have been "Introduction to Conservatism."

Summary: Worth debating and the subject of underserved scorn
Comment: Take a lot at some of these reviews. They are mean, obnoxious, and typically lack any substance. Anyone with an objective, open mind would not think that this book is homophobic, racist, or any of the other terrible descriptions that it has been labeled. If anything, the responses fit those abjectives. I'm not a raging conservative but my views have shifted dramatically when I've objectively looked at the tactics of the far left. This is a good book. It deserves a look and it should stimulate internal debate. Amazon should screen the reviews for offensive speech. The name calling and racial epithats that some of these reviews contain are appalling. Constructive reviews that offer point and counter-point should be encouraged but, as I'm discovering, those types of reviews require thought and reflection. Calling someone a Nazi or a bigot or a homophobe is much easier I guess. Amazon should be ashamed of itself for letting someone call the author a "Camel Jockey" in a review.
