An immediate sensation across the thirteen colonies, Common Sense extolled Paine’s belief that government should be simple and represent the will of the people, acting not as an oppressor but as a body to protect society. His clear and persuasive argument appealed to the common people, impressing on them the importance of secession from Great Britain. Six months after Common Sense was published, independence was declared, and the American Revolution was born.

Before we get into this review I need to say that I was prepared to severely don’t like this book, but after reading it I actually think that it is a solid read.

I gotta say that after reading this book, I believe it should be forced onto current politicians to read this book because 90% of the politicians we have now seem to be lacking a lot of common sense (the pun intended by the way)

If you are interested in politics as I am, then you really should read this book because it touched on a lot of political points which everyone interested in politics should think about at some point. This book also asks a lot of political questions which are really inserting to think about like “should we seek Reconciliation with England or Independence from her?”.

The writing style in this book is pretty outdated. Because it was published in 1776, which is solid 249 years ago, so in that time the language used have changed its fair share. 

I really recommend this book for everyone to read, because it talks about history and politics. Even thou a lot of this book is outdated and the heavy old English might not be likable for a lot of people. 

This book is a very short read because it barely above 100 pages. And I personally read it in under 2 hours in one sitting. Which really shows that good book doesnt need to be long to still be good.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
