I think Im being way too nice to give this book a 1. It diserves a 0.2. I REALLY hate this book. I had to read it for my AP U.S History class, but I didn't even make it after the first sentence of the preface. This book was a total waste of my time. With the use of difficult grammar, I didn't understand a word. I don't think there is a way to improve this book.
