I thoroughly enjoy Sarah Vowell's appearances on The Daily Show, and I share a lot of her political views, so I expected to enjoy her writing, but this history-lesson-cum-memoir was pretty dull. There are a handful of very witty short passages, but there is little sense of forward motion, and I found it all too easy to put down.
