Summary: Whoa!
Review: I think this is a very good book because Ms. Coulter is very pretty and she proves that even pretty women in short skirts can write books, which is very hard. I know I could never write a book, and if I did, it would never be as good as this book that made me think a lot about things and the way things are.

Summary: A complete outsider weighs in...
Review: Controversy surrounding the publication of this book reached Australia almost immediately. And considering the kind of polarity of reaction it generated, I made up my mind to read it almost immediately.Before hearing of Ann Coulter on the news, I had never heard of her, nor read her first book, nor read any of the below reviews. I am not American, and cultivate deep ignorance about American politics. I am not any kind of political anything. I am a book-nerd, here by chance. In other words, as completely free of bias as a rational person can be. ...and forewarned, a rational person would not have read this excuse for a book. An unbiased commentary is not possible. It requires every political neuron you possess on the table as a price of admission. What is most annoying is that if even some of it is correct, it certainly is interesting. McCarthy is usually presented in the same breath as Genghis Khan and Vlad the Impaler - this common usage may not be entirely justified. That aside, Coulter manages to somehow combine a ponderous amount of cut-and-dried fact with elephantine distortions, while being as personally objectionable as possible. This ruined any possible educative effect this book might ever have had. Heavily, heavily re-written by someone who treats the English language and the reader with some kind of respect, this might be interesting. A book of this kind would only obtain popular status in America. It is a biased, childish, populist, two-fisted screaming tantrum that was a genuine displeasure for this non-American to read.

Summary: Her Best Work to Date
Review: Everyone READ THIS BOOK. Then Read Al Frankens Lie's and Lying liars who tell them. Check the facts in each one and THINK about what you belive is the truth and why you think that.... then go and vote next year. This is all we have to do to get America on the right track.

Summary: Weak arguments
Review: According to Ms Coulter, there are many liberals whose acts are treasonable. Yet in this book, her documentation is weak and thin. This is surprising since she went to law school. According to the U.S. Code Treason is described in Section 2381. "Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
If Ms. Coulter really believes the people she portrays in her book are guilty of treason, it her duty as a lawyer to turn them in to the U.S. Justice Department. Until the Justice Department acts against these so-call traitors, I give her book 1 star.

Summary: Sick to my stomach
Review: I'm a liberal, and I feel it's fair to see what the other side is thinking from time to time. I'd never known about Coulter until I read her name in Michael Moore's "Dude, Where's My Country?" I really did try to read this book, honestly. I read the dust jacket and managed to get about 15 pages in before I started to feel ill. And I mean really ill, like "black hole in the bottom of my stomach" ill. I just could not believe someone like Coulter could exist. These books are pure, solidified hate and insanity. Never before have I read anything that I knew was written by someone with a mental disorder. Marylin Manson seems like a much more sane and rational writer that Coulter. I was wracked with internal pains and dizziness for three days until my copy of "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" arrived in the mail; I felt instantly well after reading the first chapter.

Summary: Dishonest, appalling, and a very dull read
Review: It's difficult to imagine the sort of person who'd support such a book. It's dishonest and appalling, and it's desperately dull.

Summary: She has a point, but ...
Review: Reading this book can be maddening at times because, had Ann Coulter addressed her topic with more style, sophistication, and most especially, restraint, she could have produced a masterpiece. Instead, it will simply join company with all the other "Attack" books out there, books that enjoy a brief burst of popularity and notoriety, and then are simply forgotten within a couple years or so. This is too bad since Coulter is clearly a smart woman and a skilled writer, but, much like her opponents on the Left, she cannot resist the temptation to indulge in rhetorical overkill. Her problem (as with all the other attack books) is the only ones she's likely to convince are people who already agree with her. Unlike her previous effort "Slander", which was an entertaining but essentially silly book, this is about a very serious subject that's worth looking at from a historical perspective. The Cold War may be over, but the attitudes and divisions from that era remain. The same ideological clash that produced the Whittaker Chambers versus Alger Hiss battle was present during the Clinton versus Starr impeachment fight. And it's only natural to enquire as to why this divide exists and where it came from. Unfortunately, Coulter really isn't up to the task. True, as she points out, there were genuine traitors who were actively spying for the USSR, and there was also a larger ring of sympathizers out there essentially aiding and abetting them. These facts, despite decades of evasion and even outright denial from the Left, cannot really be disputed any more. Coulter's problem is that she starts from this premise and then concludes that all liberals are essentially traitors. This kind of sweeping denunciation, far from buttressing her case (at least among intelligent and serious minded people) greatly undermines it instead. Ditto for the catty humor. Coulter can be genuinely funny, especially in her zesty attacks on dim bulb celebrities, but it also undermines her larger point in the sense that, if treason is such a serious subject, why then is she constantly making jokes and wisecracks? How can she distinguish herself from left wing attack book writers like Mike Moore and Al Franken who do essentially the same thing, namely, bash their political opponents over the head with a rhetorical club, then weasel out by saying "It's just a joke, it's satire, entertainment"? And that, really, is the problem here. Unlike the aforementioned two clowns, Coulter is actually capable of considerable depth and perception. In her first chapter, she quotes liberally from a genuine American patriot, Whittaker Chambers, including the devastating quote for which he is justly famous, the one that states that Communism is "The vision of Man without God". She quotes from de Tocqueville praising the way that, in contrast to Europe, Americans had succeeded in creating a society in which religious faith and political liberty could both flourish. Coulter, had she played her cards differently, could have written a strong and cogent defense of prudent conservatism, consisting of patriotism, respect for America's core values, and strong religious faith, as being the best course for this country to pursue, and combined that with an intelligent critique of the forces of secularism that seem to be standing in the way. But she did not. Instead, it's basically a melee of unrestrained liberal bashing, which unfortunately is unlikely to persuade fair-minded people of anything. She picks the most extreme attitudes and behavior from selected people on the Left, and then glibly presumes to paint them as being characteristic of liberals everywhere, which is, of course, ridiculous. And she also conveniently neglects to mention that the Right had its share of kooks and villains as well, perhaps most notable being the almost rabidly insane John Birch Society. This book will ultimately be just one more addition to the ever expanding collection of attack books that serve primarily to further polarize, as opposed to enlighten, political debate in this country. Which is a shame, because it could have been so much more.

Summary: Not well supported rhetoric
Review: As a conservative reader, I expected far more from Ann than this. She makes startling generalizations akin to the rantings of Rush Limbaugh on the right or Al Franken on the left. If you are interested in well supported and quality political opinions, you can skip this book!

Summary: Conservative Lawyer ?
Review: There is no such animal as a politically conservative lawyer, such as the author alleges to be. The recent anti-liberal propoganda is allowing many to make money for the pontificating media types. I am an ultra conservative and have been long before the marketing genius of Murdock and the Fox news channel. The author alleges to be a loyal conservative citizen in her public life yet, her actions in her private life associations would dictate otherwise. All citizens need to critically analyze any and all data given them regardless of who or what is presenting the alleged facts. Save your money for some real education or enlightening material. Remember, believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. Do your own research for the facts regarding any subject don't look to buy knowledge from authors like, Goldberg, Michael Moore,Miller,Coulter, etc... America is a great country because of independant thought and the freedom to choose.
