Review: This is a blog in the guise of a book
Rating: 4 out of 5

Based on the genre section where this book is listed and the 5 star reviews, I was expecting this to be a humorous, funny collection of anecdotes. It isn't. It's Big Daddy Abel's opinion of an email he received (one of those oft-forwarded Glenn Beck-redneck-pseudo patriotic missives complaining about immigrants and the 'war on Christianity'). His counterpoints are intelligent, thoughtful, sensible and grounded, almost entirely in line with my own, only better expressed and more succinct. While I agreed with nearly everything he said and am gratified that someone took the time to express the opinions, I didn't think it was funny. Entertaining, yes. Laugh-out-loud, no.  Fair warning to anyone looking for rollicking hilarity, you should probably search elsewhere. If you are looking for a rebuttal to narrow-mindedness, you're in the right place. Despite being disappointed in it not being what I expected, I gave the work 4 stars for the content and style.
