Customer Reviews

Based on sample pages... :)

I am 24 and I just got done reading the 24 sample pages offered. Even though I have not read the book in its entirety I love what he has to say and I can't wait to read the rest. I think it is incredible and totally inspiring to the political youth of America today, even in 2002. Eventhough this is an opinion totally based on the first 20 pages, I can say I agree with him 100%. This book gets your attention and makes you want to see what's on the next page. I think it's great to see someone young with such strong ideals trying to make a difference.

DO something...

It's interesting to see the negative reviews of this book and how they concentrate on painting a negative picture of the author rather than his message...a simple one really: Take accountability for the state we are in, and do something to change it. It would be nice if this book was taught to children as a model of how citizen involvement can change the system in a real way and not just give it lip-service. It would be nice if we intstilled a sense of concern for our political process instead of the overwhelming apathy and cynicism...it can and should be done.Read the book. Get angry. Do something

Very inspiring reading!

I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought it had really fresh ideas and insights into the political process I had not thought of before. Reading it made me really want to reinvest in the political process before its too late. I also thought the writers "take no prisoners" made for exciting reading.

BOLD NEW THINKING

Rob Nelson's LAST CALL is inspiring. How nice to hear from someone outside the political system who has solid ideas on how we can better our country. Similar to Warren Beatty's platform, Ron Nelson talks about practical realities and real solutions. Progress can be made on so many levels if someone like Rob Nelson was given some real power without the chains of special interest attached. Read his book, especially if you are sick of campaign rhetoric.
