I found this book to be a fascinating read. While I agree with some of what the author says, I can also see how the same woes would plague a left leaning individual in a predominantly right state. Overall, what this book proves to me is something that I have felt for years; that people need to stop being so close minded and make efforts towards dialogue because it is only by having conversations with people who have a completely different worldview than us that we truly grow as people.

This was a book of short little anecdotes from a conservative who lives in ultra-liberal Madison, Wisconsin. It really did capture the essence of being a conservative amongst a bunch of liberals in a lot of places and ways, so I appreciated the "you are not alone"-style feeling that it gave me, but it also did irritate me a bit in places, too. I think that's going to be the standard for political books for the next few years, sadly.
