Interesting read. I like trying to understand other people’s views. Sometimes this was hard to read. Overall I think she did a good job writing a non-bias point of view. She also had a very good analogy that helped me understand the other side a little better. Appendix C was fact checking and I did enjoy reading the facts.

I wanted to like this book, but I didn’t. I didn’t connect with any of the featured characters, although I felt as if there could have been opportunities to do so. To me, Hochschild seemed as if she was trying to prove them wrong while also making others try to see their point of view.

If you can only read 1 part of this book, let it be Part 3!

Part 1 and 2 had some good info and Part 4 was like a wrap up.

I'm left leaning but always open to other opinions because I know I don't know everything. Def worth a read.

A good look into the Tea Party and why they feel the way they do.

Part Three is the core of this book. The thesis is compelling but not revelatory, now.
