The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great by Ben Shapiro

4.0

I'm putting my personal views aside—so far aside you won't be able to spot them for miles—to write this review.

Because preconceived personal beliefs don't really make for an interesting review of another person's nonfiction writing, do they?

Anyway, this book is just stellar. The amount of quotes that made me sit and really think is crazy! I can tell he really put a lot of time and effort into his research. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes learning about Western philosophy and religion.

It's not just a bunch of complaining about politics. It's really thoughtfully written, which I appreciate. And, as always, he added in a few casual roasts here and there to give it that genuine Ben Shapiro feel.

My only complaint is that some of the descriptions got lengthy, as in I got a little sleepy. But everything he said had a purpose to it, so I can forgive the slower parts.
