About this listen

She is a single, twentysomething, gun-loving, Christian, Republican writer and blogger, the daughter of a senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee. He is a married, 40-year-old, gun-fearing, atheist, Democrat comedian, the son of a lesbian former Social Security employee. Meghan McCain and Michael Ian Black barely know each other. But they are about to change the way politics is discussed in America.

In the summer of 2011, McCain and Black embarked on a balls-out, cross-country tour. Along the way, they spoke to politicians, gun lovers, abortion-rights advocates and opponents, gay parents, flag burners, Muslims, poker players, Tea Partiers, Minutemen, veterans, teen moms, bikers, fast-food workers, and a hooker or two. They toured the White House. They fired semiautomatic weapons. They stopped and ate at every Olive Garden along the way. But mostly they talked to each other about their differences and their similarities. It's Chelsea Handler meets Hunter S. Thompson in a political cannonball run across America.

Amusing.

Personally, I enjoyed it. I can understand why some people would not enjoy it, though. The language is interestingly enough, what one would call "mature," but the book is pretty far from it. It's a pretty good book, though. I actually have respect for Meghan McCain now (though I didn't have much of an opinion of her prior to this book, just her father.), and Michael Ian Black provides a bit of the liberal view as well. It had me laughing at parts and considering my stance on certain things. I wouldn't say it's a game-changer, but it's better than "reality" TV (to be fair, this would have made for great TV.)

Don't get it if you're easily offended or if you would prefer not to lose any IQ, but if you're moderately educated (read: not a middle school dropout) and not a die-hard liberal or a die-hard conservative, and you enjoy crass jokes and fun while intoxicated, it's definitely not a bad listen/read. Being from Vegas, the part with the strippers was my favorite, followed by the part with the guns.

Two sides to every story

What made the experience of listening to America, You Sexy Bitch the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed how the book's two authors would talk turns talking about the events taking place on the road trip. Both giving their side of the story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Both were great

There is hope afterall ...

If you could sum up America, You Sexy Bitch in three words, what would they be?

Husband liked it

Any additional comments?

I'm a political junkie! My husband is an Independent and I downloaded this book so we could listen to it on our long trip to a family reunion. My husband totally got into it. He enjoyed both sides of the issues. I was so glad that he enjoyed this book and it gave us some good discussions to have on the trip.

Hit fast forward

Be prepared to what an earlier reviewer warned you about - it is painfully cringingly uneven. Do not listen to it when you drive or in any other situation when you can't easily reach your fast forward/ next section button. Every segment is like a small story in its own right, so if you are getting annoyed by one author, skip to the next segment. Unlike that earlier reviewer, I listened to the end and I can tell you that the weaker one is not getting better. Approach it as a real life situation. Not all people are mature, or self-aware, or have writing skills, or melodious voices, but they are not going anywhere and it's up to you to decide if you want to listen, or switch off, or ignore. That much for 'America" and 'Freedom'. There is absolutely nothing about 'sexy', 'bitches', 'love', or 'letters.'

Remember when America had moderates?

What did you love best about America, You Sexy Bitch?

If you are a radical, you'll hate this book, but it is educational. This book shows you that there are still sensible American's on both sides of the political spectrum. Meghan McCain is the sensible, up-to-date republican, while Michael Ian Black plays the understanding comedic liberal. This is a story about what people should be thinking about America. It ignores the left- and right-wing balderdash spitting out of cable news, satellite radio, and premium television channels. No polarizing political crap in this book.

What other book might you compare America, You Sexy Bitch to and why?

It's a book from both sides. That's rare, hard to compare.

Did Meghan McCain and Michael Ian Black do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes. They are opposites, but they find common ground in America. They take turns speaking their minds and often match up in ideals.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

I'll never travel 3 weeks in an RV.

Any additional comments?

Meghan McCain sounds like a teenager, but she has her ideas straight. Michael Ian Black is great.

Sweet and Thoughtful

...Not words that I thought I would use when I first bought the book. I thought it would just be funny, but it's actually a kind-hearted examination of what it means to be politically conservative or liberal, and the travails that Meghan and Michael go through to see each other's point of view as they travel across America.

Thought Provoking

What did you love best about America, You Sexy Bitch?

I came into this book already a fan of MIB. I was not so sure about Meghan, but after devouring this book in less than a week, I have come to love them both so much

Lifelong Democrat loves this book!

I loved this book! It was narrated by the writers and was an interesting, funny experience to "ride along" with Meghan and Michael, as they drove across the US. I learned so many things about being a Republican. The book was enlightening and I'll even listen to it again. I was laughing several times and listened to it in two sittings. I highly recommend it. A+

Incredibly entertaining!

If you could sum up America, You Sexy Bitch in three words, what would they be?

I wish I could find another book as amusing as this to listen to on my long commute! A great listen and an excellent message.

Verbage

Michael chooses to use the N word when quoting someone. I'm not down with that.
