5.0 out of 5 stars Every American should read!, December 9, 2007

Gardner Goldsmith's "Live Free or Die" essays are a treasure trove of short, informational, historical, political, and personal experiences.

The reader is pulled in right from the beginning with extremely clever and creative titles, which segue into his chosen format of short writings, expertly defending the constitution, exposing the ridiculous - almost unbelievable - attitudes and acts of politicians, funny and poignant family stories, and even some fiction (although in actuality, some of the political nonsense he reveals is, as they say, stranger than the fiction).

Every American, whatever their political affiliation, can learn much, in addition to being entertained, by this book.

Congratulations to Gardner Goldsmith on producing such a fine work!

5.0 out of 5 stars I read most of this book in a day, May 21, 2008

While on a road trip, during a visit to a friend's apartment in Colorado, she had a new copy of this book lying around, and I decided to pick it up and read it since she was at work and I had nothing else to do. Gardner Goldsmith is an excellent writer, and I love all of his and his father's essays. I didn't get to the fiction section of the book (I was only able to read the first 250-300 pages), but I'm sure it was just as excellent as the rest of Live Free or Die.

I may or may not be joining Gardner up in New Hampshire. I'm still on the fence with the whole Free State Project thing, but Gardner's book has done nothing but push me a little further onto the side of the FSP. Thanks, Gardner.

This review is from: Live Free or Die: Essays on Liberty by New Hampshire Libertarians (Paperback)

Today I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Silly me, I thought we were free." I laughed and then it made me a little sad because I realized once again that we are not free. Gardner G. is certainly doing his part to promote and protect true freedom by putting together a smorgasbord of entertaining and enlightening stories that will help you understand and appreciate our current state of affairs. Buy this book, read it, and loan it to a friend when your done.
