Witty-Funny-Uncomfortable
I picked up this book because I’ve been a longtime fan of Corey Taylor and his music. I’m from Eastern Kentucky, Christian, female, and 20’s so most people would be unsuspecting of me aligning myself with the metal/rock genre let alone open myself up to the opinions of such. I’ve grown tired of the judgemental discord especially where I come from so this read was more than refreshing. It pulled me out this conservative, religious, narrow-minded realm and helped me see that there’s others out there that agree with me on some things. Thank goodness because I was starting to suffocate. This book is a look into the social, political and ideological differences in America. I found myself going back and rereading frame-worthy quotes, facts and statements. Even though I don’t agree or lineup with everything in the book it was tastefully fulfilling and assisted me to see America through a different lense, however I found myself agreeing and laughing more than not. Well done!

Excellent read no matter what your personal views may be
This book reads easily, as though you're having a conversation with the author himself. It is not a book to change your opinions, it is just a real, honest, and colorfully written account of the author's viewpoint and how his experiences shaped that viewpoint. Excellent read especially if you don't share his beliefs. This book will, if you read it with your mind even cracked a little bit open, help a reader with opposing views to maybe understand how another person's life will shape their manner of thinking and bring them to a different viewpoint than their own. Excellent read, highly recommended.

Politics Aside
I feel like I just sat down and read the longest Facebook rant on politics in history and agreed with every word. How is that even possible? We do have much more in common than we realize. Crazy to remember he came from the middle of nowhere with nothing, just like a lot of us.

Kind of a rant
He made good points. The trump hating gets a little old weather you like him or not. The points he makes are good but they get lost in the rant. Worth the read if your on the middle of the political spectrum and want to read opinions you agree with.

Very good read.
I've read every book Cory's put out and I like this one a lot. It's not as good as his others but it's still worth checking out. Taking the politics out of it he makes a pretty good point. I don't agree with all the trump hate but his oponion so I'll take it for what it's worth. If your a fan of any of his other book check this out.

Corey Taylor lässt den Verbal-Hammer kreisen
Corey Taylor erweist sich auch mit AMERICA 51 einmal mehr als geborener Entertainer und cleverer Kopf gleichzeitig.Wie der Titel schon andeutet nimmt Taylor in seinem vierten Buch nun die USA als Hauptziel ins Visier: er schreibt ausführlich über die diversen Präsidenten (wobei natürlich Donald Trump das Meiste abbekommt), über das Demokratie- und Rechtsverständnis der USA und natürlich auch über die Rolle der USA in der Welt.Wie man sich denken kann schlägt Taylor hierbei in der ihm eigenen, unverwechselbaren Art fröhlich mit der Verbalkeule um sich – gefühlt alle zwei Seiten hat er einen Wutanfall, und natürlich spart er nicht mit Beleidigungen in alle Richtungen. All dies gelingt ihm auf eine schlichtweg enorm unterhaltsame Art.Bei all dem merkt man aber immer wieder: Taylor ist nicht nur ein toller Entertainer, sondern einfach auch ein cleverer Kopf, und hinter seinem mitunter lustig-vulgär-aggressiven-hysterischen Schreibstil verbirgt sich ein aufmerksamer Beobachter, der Missstände und Idiotien sehr treffend analysiert und aufs Korn nimmt.Natürlich muss man Taylor nicht bei Allem zustimmen (Anzuecken war ja schon sein Markenzeichen als Künstler), und mitunter versteigt sich Taylor in reichlich gewagte Thesen – oftmals hat er aber definitiv einige sehr treffende und interessante Gedanken mitzuteilen, und langweilig wird die Lektüre von AMERICA 51 niemals.Für mich ein weiteres interessantes und schlichtweg enorm unterhaltsames Buch von Corey Taylor.Vier Sterne mit Tendenz nach oben!

Brilliant !
Funny, astute entertaining. Corey Taylor is not only an outstanding musician, he could succeed as an author alone. If you can, find the audiobook. Hours worth of entertainment.
