Hated narrative style
informative slow-paced

First half is great but the actual constitution is mediocre and contains outdated and problematic ideas.

informative slow-paced

Performance by author is mediocre, and the book itself almost looks down its nose at the working class. Yet again a Have feels the need to tell the Have Nots what would improve their lives.
funny lighthearted medium-paced

I thoroughly enjoyed this, the pacing was a little off sometimes but it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of reading.

Full of platitudinous drivel. ¾ a star because the illustrations are good at least.

Team Rocket attacking three times in one book is a bit much.
