Reviews for The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good book, worth reading! Audiatur et altera pars!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Every book in this series is incredibly racist, misogynistic, and anti science. A modicum of research and education disproves every lie listed in these books. The authors knowingly lie repeatedly in order to keep the targeted group who read these books in the dark and easier to control.
