VOYA Reviews 2008 August
Ranging from philosophical to anecdotal, these essays try to inspire and encourage active participation in the voting process. For the most part, they do a good job. Celebrities, writers, intellectuals, and other personas of note contribute their thoughts and stories about voting. Some are more moving than others. Some are funnier, and several are more poignant or pointed depending upon the author, but all are delivered with sincerity. With contributors ranging from America Ferrera, Tyra Banks, and Meg Cabot to Chris Crutcher, Adrian Grenier, and Alice Walker, the viewpoints are diverse and thoughtfully presented. This collection is a worthy addition to any school or public library although schools should be aware that some strong language is used. The final section of the book offers voting information and resources.
