This book had so much promise (especially today) but truly fell flat.

It was not as poignant as I would have hoped.

I thought that the writing style of the interviews was different and neat, but could get confusing sometimes. I kept forgetting who different people were which made it confusing at times to try and place how they related to the story.

One line, and really only one, stood out to me:

You've got about as much chance of getting people to give up their guns as you do getting them to give up driving or drinking beer at baseball games.

Take that line however you want it, all I can say is that this book did not deliver in a way that it could have and for that I am disappointed.
