In this review, you will get my full opinion on this book, both the good and the
bad. The Beckys and the Kipps had me ROLLING! Genius! LOVED IT. On the other
hand, the Redneck chapter, ummmmm did I like it? Not so much. I dont consider
myself a redneck but I felt that chapter just repeated every redneck stereotype
out there. If enjoying Nascar racing (Little E all the way baby! Shut up, he
will make his comeback soon) country music and Lynard Skynard make a redneck,
then I would have to say that yes, I am a redneck and proud of it. Sorry J.S.
that just had to be said my friend!
I found myself laughing so hard at
certain points such as "music stopped belonging to young people a lot time ago."
I remember my parents saying the same thing to me when I was younger and now,
here I sit saying the same thing to my children.
Brace yourselves everybody,
rumor has it that there is a sequel of this book in the works. I do
wholeheartedly agree that the more people try to differentiate themselves from
others, they are in all actuality making themselves just like everyone else.
Again I must disagree with the U Arent working bit. No further explanation is
necessary, you have to buy the book and read it to understand. But on the other
hand the My Personal Soapbox section I do agree with, there is only so much this
country can handle before it buckles from the pressure.
This book is one mans
very colorful view of the world. Entertaining, controversial, debatable are all
words that can describe this book. Some might say that J.S has a sarcastic,
cutting, snide outlook on life but even though my thoughts may not mirror his, I
do have to admit, some of the comments stated are things I have thought over
many, many times and just felt too politically correct to say anything about.
So balancing the good with the bad, I would really have to say that yes, I would
recommend this book to those who arent easily pissed off, have a sarcastic sense
of humor and who have an open mind. Remember this is only one mans opinion and
because we happen to be live in America, it is his right to print what he feels
needs to be said. Some excellent points were made throughout the book as you
will find but if you are easily offended, then no, dont pick up the book, you
wont like what you read. I think we should all have enough guts to defend our
own opinions as this book has plainly done. I read on J.Ss webpage
http://www.jsbuckingham.vpweb.com/ where someone said "So much hate, I had to
read it twice." I had to laugh! Pick up the book, judge for yourself.

I thought this book was really funny. A lot of what the author talks about is
stuff that needs to be addressed but few people actually do it. Hats off to
J.S. Buckingham for taking the non-politically correct route and pointing out
alot of the b.s. going on in society. A thoughtful and funny social critic. I
wait for more....

I enjoyed this book. Buckingham tells is straight like it is. Of course, I
didnt necessarily agree with every single word or idea, but I thought most of it
was dead-on. We need more people with this kind of vision to work towards
getting some functionality back into this lost society! Indeed, read and be
educated!
