    This book is a revelation! I had no idea about the controversies surrounding the First Amendment.

    While the topic is interesting, the book felt a bit academic. I wish it were more accessible.

    The book is informative, but the narrative lacks a certain spark. It’s a bit of a slog to get through.

    Sixteen Stormy Days offers a compelling look at the First Amendment. However, it could have been more engaging.
