Extremely well written and enjoyable relative to the subject matter. What I really liked about Levin was that he stayed away from classifying either party as one being liberal (Democrat) versus one being Conservative (Republican). He simply spoke from the pragmatic view of conservatism which is a direct contradiction to statism - the former espousing inalienable rights of the individual versus the latter espousing that the state knows best for the individual. He did not hesitate to be critical of past presidents from either party whose actions were statist like. Because of Levin's approach, I find this to be the most appealing read of all recent manifestos regarding conservative beliefs. He was not vitriolic in his approach, and more educational unlike Dick Morris, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter books that I have read. He also spoke from the heart in a very intelligent matter. If I was to be critical of anything, it would be the list of 10 action items conservatives should take covered in the Epilogue. I think they are far fetched and should be made more reasonable. But if the purpose is to strive in some sense for these goals, then I support him.
