A Short History of the United States (Abridged) Audiobook

" Because I had to read this over the summer for AP US History, I wasn't happy. It did a good job of boring me. No offense to the author, but I just can't read a whole book about history in the summer. "

" A fantastic 350 pg history of our great country. Truly an amazing story. "

" I enjoyed it. It didn't bore me at any point, and as a latinamerican it gave a new perspective about gringos but also about us (latinos). "

" A good starting place for those who don't know much about US history beyond the obvious. "

" A good overview and narrative history of the United States, but (as is probably inevitable to it's nature) it left me wanting on almost every topic. Perhaps an interesting place to start studying US history, but not likely to fulfill the desire to comprehend the narrative of America. "

" Very interest. It helped put into perspective the various history books that I have read recently. I thought that Mr. Remini perspective had a liberal bent on recent presidents but overall was a very educational book and a pleasure to read. "

" Acceptable at providing an overview of events - which was it's goal. It will leave you wanting for more if you hoped for anything in-depth. "

" I loved this book!! Very interesting! It does not bore you with needless statistics. It gives a great overview of the history of the US and in pretty much chronological order that really made it easy to follow!! "

" A good general overview of US history. It's like two US History classes in one book. My only complaint is that some terms, persons, and events were not given enough detail or enough explanation. "

" Lives up to the title. A good, concise review of US history. For the most part, tells it like it is without a lot of revisionist history thrown in. Makes for a pretty good reference book "

" A Quick Read, But Where Are the Short People Or Kids? "

" Listened to the abridged audio book version. It covers a lot in a very short edition so obviously not the most detailed, yet, surprisingly thorough nonetheless. Want to freshen up on your American history (at least, the classic textbook history) then this is a good read (or listen.) "

" Easy to read narrative that covers all the high points (and low points) in US History. Time flies while reading this...literally and figuratively. "

" I picked this up to read over the summer before I taught AP U.S. History again the fall. This book is too heavy on political history and too light on social history. However, this would be a good title for someone who can't point out the United States on a map. "
