Just a little liberal American patriotism as a treat! This is not normally my thing, but I gifted it to a relative and wanted to make sure I didn’t give her something totally terrible so I picked up the audiobook. And it was decent! I always enjoy a good fun fact, so in that way it was very enjoyable (very into the small and the mighty pigeon she covered at length in one chapter lol). On the whole though, I felt it was cheesy, I didn’t love the tone (often too casual), and wasn’t organized in a way that made a ton of sense to me (like I think it was chronological but honestly I’m not totally sure). I think the message of “anyone can do one small thing in their sphere of influence to make an impact” is always important, especially in the historical moment we are in right now, and she did often mention that many of these issues were larger/systemic, but still it often felt too simple. And her narration drove me nuts! So I think this is a good choice for a feel-good chronicle of nuggets of history, but I don’t come away from this with any kind of perspective change and don’t think much of it will stay with me.
