Summary: Strong Will
Comment: Yes, this is a collection of Will's assorted columns and reviews from the mid-1990's, but the editor (or maybe Will) laid them out so brilliantly, you cannot help but read this cover to cover. To string essays from shallow teen girl magazines to infanticide to partial birth abortion is flawless and will make you think. This collection was written before Clinton's impeachment, but you can almost tell what is coming as Will deconstructs Clinton's policies without getting mean about it. George Will's writing is not ugly and angry, but honest. The same cannot be said of the departing administration (vandalizing the computer keyboards at the White House is a new low in American politics). I recommend this book to conservatives who think they are the only ones out there in a liberal media saturated world, and to liberals, who to often think with their bleeding hearts and not their heads.

Summary: "The Woven Figure" carries an acerbic edge.
Comment: George F. Will, America's bastion of conservative thought, has at last created an anthology of essays which serve not only to further American Conservatism, but examine the difficulties of it as well. Dr. Will maintains a sharply acerbic, at times sarcastic edge when dealing with liberalism, yet does not shield his fellow conservatives from the same. In this regard, Dr. Will has produced a vastly interesting book which manages to explore the virtues and vices of contemporary American Conservatism.

Summary: Trite Trash from America's Most Pretentious Columnist
Comment: I'd give this book zero stars if I could. To compare it to the Bible, as one reader had the unmitigated gall to do, is an insult to the great authors of that book. A comparison to Mein Kampf would be more appropriate.
There's nothing here that you haven't seen before, just the rehashed rantings of yet another angry and disenfranchised white man who refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections and launches into ad hominem attacks of the Democratic party in general and the Clinton presidency in particular.
If you like having your thinking done for you by the likes of Will, Rush Limbaugh, et al, then this is the book for you. Those who like to think for themselves should look elsewhere.
