Try as I did, I just couldn't get into this book. I was hoping for a book which would convince me of the author's beliefs and the strengths of his arguements. Separating out the passages which one accepts on faith alone, I found many of the authors statements just weren't adequately supported, or got lost in the jargon. I thought the book was filled with too many generalizations and stereotypes which just don't stand on their own. I tried quitting the book about 25% into it, but saw that it was generally very highly regarded, so I continued until I got about 50% into the book. But at that point, I gave up. If you want to be convinced on the merits, you may not like the book, if you're looking for reinforcement of existing conservative perspectives, and can drink the cool-aid, you may well love the book.
