Summary: AP US History
Review: I'm a sophmore in high school and I'm taking the Advanced Placement US History course. The book provides so much insight into the past; politially and socially, and gives first hand accounts and documents of the time periods. It is also a very helpful textbook when it comes to taking the AP test.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I'm using this book for an advanced us history class in my sophmore year of high school. i've been trying to read the first sixty pages but i find myself dozing off after a few minutes. now i'm a pretty smart kid but this book is terrible. the first day of school my teacher chucked this p.o.s. out the window to demonstrate what a p.o.s. it really is. if you look at the authores you'll notice that half of them are stuck up rich white kids from Yale university. If you are stuck with this book for your text book in school i pitty you and i hope you don't fail your class.

Summary: Engrossing book
Review: This book was an intense read due to the high caliber vocabulary. Although, I would give four stars because the reader is satisfied with masses of information from the American History. You will need a dictionary and alot of time but it is well worth it. As a student in High School I would recommend this to higher level students whom desire to be an entrepreneur in history. Good luck!

Summary: As an AP US History textbook...
Review: This book was used as the text for my junior year AP history class, and it is absolutely awful. The book is extremely difficult to read because there is so much unnecessary information crammed into each section and the authors seemed more interested in simply recording facts than making a coherent assessment of history. My teachers agreed that this book is difficult, uninteresting, and poorly edited and are looking for a new text. I love history and was excited to take the AP History course but I could not focus on this book for more than five minutes without becoming sleepy and losing focus. The book does present accurate and extensive facts covering the history of the US from pre-colonization to the mid-1990's, but there has got to be a better way to learn them.

Summary: AP US-I
Review: This is the textbook for my AP US I class. It is extremely boring and does things such as not name the Boston Tea Party, skip around in terms of dates, and use ridiculous language. Some of my classes favorite phrases are:
flim-flam
alluvial river bottoms
fecund soil
sallubrious climate
brow-furrowing
