This was a really fast and good read. I found out about Jon Ronson from his BBC radio series, which is a bit like This American Life, only British. In fact, I think I heard an excerpt of his show on This American Life. He's really funny, and he researches fascinating stories, a bit like Nick Broomfield. <br/> <br/>So I expected this book to be good and fun. It was, though a little less so than I thought it would be. I think maybe part of Ronson's strength is his voice and his sort of ironic affect when he talks, which he tries to convey in his writing too, but he doesn't completely succeed. <br/> <br/>At any rate, it's a fascinating read in which he chases down many of the bizarre conspiracy theories and new age myths, which the U.S.

basically a cartoon excerpting of Zinn's People's History of The United States. Very well done. Kind of along the lines of the excellent Addicted to War &#34;graphic novel.&#34;
