5.0 out of 5 stars Fine intro to Libertarianism, February 14, 2007

By	Lewis Noogie (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This is not exactly a primer of the principles of Libertarianism, but it's a good introduction. The author presents examples of excessive governmental authority (and shows how "democracy" is much over-rated) in such a clear way that the reader will find it easy to say, "He's right." Once you've read this book you'll want to know more about how government works, and what Freedom and Liberty are really about.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Thoroughly Enjoyable Read., March 28, 2007

By	Philip Mondello - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mix a little Stand By Me with The Outsiders. Add a dash of Lord of the Flies and sprinkle a few Goonie chips in for good measure and that's the cookie served up in The Walton Street Tycoons. To be fair, there is nothing derivative of the aforementioned stories in Jim Lesczynski's book, but there is a discernable teen movie feel present. Would make a great class read as there is just the right mix of rebellion, adventure and a brutally honest civics lesson, all blended into an edgily entertaining coming of age tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Novel for Adults and Teens, March 7, 2007

By	Jane D. (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This novel is a great read from start to finish. Although many like this book for its libertarian views, I loved it simply for its fiction. It is a really fun novel, entertaining for adults and teens alike. Be careful as you read, however... you and your teenagers may begin to re-think your political views. Enjoy it with you pre-teen to early teenager, and open up some great dinner table discussions.
