A fascinating book that shows what our Founding Fathers wanted for the American people compared to what we have today. Thank you for your review.

I've recently been really interested in politics and history, particularly the histories of Europe and America. This book seems to be filled with a wealth of knowledge. I would adore reading it.

What Would The Founding Fathers Tell Us Today echoes the noble works of the Founding Fathers and compares them to modern-day America. This book serns very political therefore it doesn't interest me. Thanks for your review though.

I am not interested in reading books in the political genre, however, the intention of this book is interesting. People who love American history and politics will probably enjoy this one. I applaud the author for throwing in some humor along the way. The book review is quite thorough.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting book which the author attempts to use the wisdom and teachings of the Founding Fathers in the 18th Century to try to fix or find solutions to modern problems. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

It is an interesting idea to compare what the founding fathers did with what is happening in modern times. I'm sure there will be a lot of lessons to learn, and it's great to see that the book is well executed as well.

Really beautiful history. I do love to read books like this so I can know how some things came to be. I've heard and read so much on the history of America. This is a nice addition to the many. Lovely review.

While I'm not a fan of American politics, I know a bit about one of the founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. I would be interested in reading the dialogues with him and the humor there.

I definitely do not like American politics. However, this novel appears to take on a humourous approach while educating its readers. Make no mistake; racism is still very much alive in America, but the ways in which it is conducted is not as obvious as most Americans believe. Thanks for the great review!

I am not interested in American history, but I like the idea of the author to have modern times looked at through the Founding Fathers' eyes.

As I saw the title I was hooked. I see that Neff addresses the issue of divisive party politics and that's interesting. The humour is a welcome bonus.
Great Review

Unfortunately, this book is totally not my cup of tea, because main subjects it addresses are social and political issues modern America and the entire world faces as opposite to years of founding a country. I am not an American and apolitical to boot, thereby I am not interested in Founding Fathers or their opinion.

In today's book of the day, the author on the book identifies corruption and racism as the difference between the founding fathers of America and the contemporary leaders of today. The author also touches on some history of American colonies and independence. Congrats on #BOTD.
