[Seraphina Clementine]

I didn’t just read Austin Blues I felt it. Every smoky club, every guitar riff, every courtroom battle pulled me in. Sandy Eden’s struggle with his past and his relentless pursuit of justice broke my heart and lifted it at the same time. This book is raw, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Required by the State of California for college, this book is chalked full of facts, processes, and organizational structures of government and politicians that are best kept from reaching the cognitive stage of identification, much less symbolism, mental representation, and thought.

Reading for my government class for school. Actually has some good information in it. Not too bad of a text book, especially considering I don't really like government.
