Fluff
Customer Rating:
I was very eager to read this book as it contains valuable insight on the supreme law of our land. This topic really intrigues me and I bought this book as recommended by others. I could not complete reading the book as it is so boring and filled with needless fluff from the original authors. That is a critigue apon the authors and not the current publisher. The book is well designed and serves it's purpose well. If I were to completely read The Federalist Papers, this would be the source. But, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay are in my opinion horrible writers. I have never seen so many 50+ word rambling sentences in my life. You can condense each essay into a paragraph and receive the same idea and information. It is like a college kids essay that contains 10% information, and 90% fluff in order to meet the word requirements. Just now I opened the book to a random page and counted the words in a single sentence. Are you ready? 83, yes eighty three words in a single sentence. And that was a total random page selection.

Every American high schooler should be required to read and understand this book and the importance of our founding fathers' principals, so important, yet so misunderstood today.
The Federalist Papers
Customer Rating:
The Federalist Papers need no review. They are classics in American History and were the basis for convincing the Colonials that the Constitution was a sound structure for the new Government.
