Summary: An Amazing Achievement
Comment: Joy Hakim has done it again--this time for adults as well as young adults. My kids use A History of US books in school, and they rave about American history. Telling me stories about this person or that. Since moving away from bland textbooks and reading the exciting stories of our past in Hakim's books, their test scores have improved and they like history. It's amazing!
When I heard about Freedom I bought it immediately, and I can say that now I see what the fuss is all about. I'm loving it! I never knew that much about American history, but I feel like I'm really learning the basics. She really carries you along on an amazing journey--a page-turner that is sharp, engaging, critical, and full of flavor. The book is beautiful and I love the illustrations and asides. I've even given a copy to my parents to read. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to brush up on our nation's history.

Summary: excellent!
Comment: I don't usually write reviews, but I had to take a moment when I saw the numerous reviews from people who didn't appear to have even read the book (at least that's my perception after reading their segments)! This book is excellent - very well writen and insightful. Although for a histroy buff there wasn't anything really new to me, the fact that it isn't a hard-to-read tome makes it all the more accessible to the majority of readers...
That said, it seems that several reviewers were put-off by the choice of a President and First Lady being chosen to write the "Forward". Whether we like George Bush or agree with his politics is not the point here. He is our President and will have a place in our history - which is what this book celebrates - The History Of US. If one can't get past the fact Bush and Laura wrote the forward and are offended such that as a result one doesn't read the book, I don't know how one can truly review it? Just a thought for you to consider as you read these reviews...

Summary: History?
Comment: I am in an 7th grade social studies and this textbook is the worst piece of garbage I have ever read. There is no relevant vocabulary, no glossary, lacks important facts, and is psuedo history.
