"I give Bernie Sanders and his ideas a 5+ but I am going to have to give this book a four and if I was really being truthful a three might be more appropriate but I decided on a four since the information in this book is so valuable."
"Sanders has long advocated for a social-democratic system (which is capitalist, not socialist) – one that has been implemented to moderate-to-excellent success in Canada, Australia and many European countries – but these smearers only cite fringe-example countries like Venezuela and Cuba, which are hard-line dictatorships and a very perverted representation of any ideology they claim to be about."
"It's Bernie doing what Bernie does, getting we the people involved! "."
"Great book as Bernie provides solutions for all of his recommendations which is very unusual for politicians."
"Great book."
"This guide is perfectly detailed to talk about the crucial issues that are affecting us right now in the US."

"Pros: the book came earlier than expected. very informative. exactly like it looks in the picture. got it cheaper than retail price. Cons: I don't know if the paper cover on the outside was damaged because of the box and shipment or if the seller left it like that, but that was the only downer."
