thank you... and goodnight!

The extent to which I suffered was great. I spent many waking hours with this masterful piece of literature. To say that I am thrilled for the departure of this book is an understatement and I hope to never see it again. However, I developed a liking for the lad and I do credit him for the power of historical knowledge that I now wield. Thank you for your time, it has been a grand 9 months.

YES I’M DONE TAKE THAT APUSH

As with the AP Euro textbook, I’m not going to be rating this because it’s history and I find rating that to be strange.

The textbook itself was informative, but it remains to be seen if any information will stick at all. I do really like how this was set up: the wide margins made it a quicker read than the Euro textbook, which was nice.

…that’s it. I have nothing else to say.

Hey at least I actually read it:)

I read/struggled through all 1000 pages for APUSH this past year. Many fond memories of falling asleep reading this and waking up with the page lines on my face. If I don’t get a five on the AP test this book is a scam and so is college board.

Reasons not to get this book…

- It costs a million bajillion dollars
- You don’t feel like torturing yourself in the name of education
- It's super heavy; it literally feels like you’re carrying a huge brick
- The text is drier than a scorched, crinkly raisin left out in the sun in 200° weather
- It’s very hard to study…like just read one word and you’ll start falling asleep
- In some places, the book actually is kind of biased (and what meaning does a textbook have if it's unable to do its one job in providing you factual info?)
- The print is way too small. It'll give you absolutely horrible eye fatigue (PS: I developed double vision from eye strain the semester I read this stupid thing, so that tells you something…)

Reasons to get this book…

- Your US history professor requires it for her course and you gotta do anything to get that ✨shiny A✨, am I right?


I hate school

I read most of the chapters excluding the first 4 chapters as I skimmed through them only reading the summary so that I could finish my APUSH summer work to prepare me for class. It’s safe to say that I read every single word afterwards to get my homework finished. I spent 2 hours each day just doing some of my homework. It would take me 4 days just to finish one homework. But now I’m glad. I learned so much from this textbook and it truly helped me ace the class and the AP test. This spring I got a 95% in the class and a 4 on the AP exam. Sorry I rated this textbook so low. I forgot to mention I had a few mental breakdowns :) But nevertheless I love history always ❤️
