Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every American Must Read
Review: This book made me proud to be an American and want to move to another country - immediately. It affirmed my agnosticism and want to be a Christian (a real one - not anything to do with what we call Christians now).

This book points out the single most dangerous force (un)known to man - RATIONALIZATION - in detail.

Read it and at least understand what you think you believe in and why.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Accessable to all Americans -- and should be.
Review: This is a book all Americans should read, whether they ultimately end up agreeing with it or not. It is well organised and addresses many good points towards the decriminalisation of consensual "victimless" crimes. Full of information and facts in addition to opinions by the author. It's a very easy read, despite it's length; well-written and never boring. Good for both adults and teenage students.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Changed my entire outlook on politics
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read and easily ranks as one of my favorites. It's a shame that Mcwilliams is no longer with us. This book shows what a great author he was. He makes his point so well and provides an endless amount of evidence for why he feels the way he does. The way he died is especially tragic.

McWilliams makes his point very effectively and will probably leave many of his readers agreeing with him on the issue of consensual crime by the time they've finished. This book is interesting and very well researched, but without being boring as many books regarding law/politics tend to be. It's full of information about how and why victimless crimes became illegal and why laws against them ultimately do a lot more harm than you might think. McWilliams points out how drug/gambling/prostitution laws are far from effective, very expensive to uphold, and most of all, unamerican, and I for one was left in complete opposition to these laws by the time I had finished this book.

As you might've noticed, this book is extremely long (about 700 pages I think) and is organized very well. The index makes it very easy to find what you're looking for and it's very helpfull to be able to look up people's names to find if any of their quotes made it into the book. The book contains a quote from someone on every page in the upper corner. All sorts of people are included from George Carlin to Thomas Jefferson. This is one of my favorite features of this book.

One of the best things about "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" is that it can appeal to all sortof people. Prior to reading it, I hadn't given mush thought to the topic of consensual crimes, but since I read it, it's become a major concern of mine. I think that even those who completely agree with consensual crime laws will find this book interesting. It's written in a manner that adresses the issue in a calm fashion rather than waving accusations around, and I think that those who may not agree with McWilliams will appreciate this.

This book can appeal to people on either side of the issue and does a great job and maintaining the reader's interest. It never drags or gets boring and always has interesting, little known facts to keep you reading. I encourage everyone out there to read this book.

Summary: The Best Book Ever!!!
Review: This is the best book I've ever read on any topic. It's my bible. I only wish I had a chance to meet Peter before he was murdered by the U.S. Government for trying to save his own life.

This is not only a must read, I buy copies for everyone I care about.
