5.0 out of 5 stars
This is an easy & quick book for all history students.
This book makes history easy for kids and adults of all ages. The text is simple and easy to understand. Side questions help you understand topics, and it won't bore you (too much) with long-winded text. great for studying, all though it isn't suited for the incredable detailed test. Catches you up or renews your interest in the history of our country.

Dumbed down for production line educators
If the book was meant to provide a quick overview of American history as a two week long introduction to more profound study it would rate 5 stars. But this book is being used as a textbook to present the totality of American history to high school students. I've read the book and talked to educators who are using it to teach American history.

Dumbed down for production line educators,

This review is from: American History the Easy Way (Barron's E-Z) (Paperback)
If the book was meant to provide a quick overview of American history as a two week long introduction to more profound study it would rate 5 stars. But this book is being used as a textbook to present the totality of American history to high school students. I've read the book and talked to educators who are using it to teach American history. It is being misused as a textbook. Some are saying this is THE book to use for teaching American history. That's like saying all the news worth knowing can be found in USA Today. The 3 stars is for the trend this book represents. Otherwise, it may be OK if applied properly as a sparse intro to American history.
