It's already starting to sell out. I read this morning that it cracked the top 10 @ Barnes and Noble online as well.

Awesome! I just got my copy the other day and am trying to find a window of time where I can sit down and read it.
Find a rather large window of time. I bought it, decided to read the first 20 pages and ended up reading the whole damned thing in one sitting. Best. Book. Ever.
Nice review. Very inspiring. I have to get off my butt and get a few copies. One for me, and a few for family. I'm still struggling to get through, Defending the Undefendable: The pimp, prostitute, scab, slumlord, libeler, moneylender and other scapegoats in the rogue's gallery of American society The Case Against the FED Both are good.
The best part, at least for me, was his criticism of socialized healthcare. He makes a position, discusses it for a few pages then leaves it with: If you think nationalized healthcare is a good idea, take a look at your VA clinics. That is your national healthcare. That hit home, hard.

Neocon Pajamas Media has a review... Reading the Ron Paul Revolution http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/reading-the-ron-paul-revolution/ For the most part it's positive, although the author of the review claims to be a libertarian, and says that there are (Ayn) Rand Libertarians. First of all, Randians are Objectivists. They are not libertarians, although they hold some principles in common. Secondly, if the author believes in our foreign policy, then he is not a libertarian. The core of libertarianism, is the NAP or Non-Aggression Principle. It is that no one shall aggress against another. Self-defense is fine, but policing the world, regime change etc. is most definitely off the table. If you believe that it is wrong to cause harm to others, or to force others to do your will by force or coercion, then you have libertarian sentiments.
He talks more about his own opinions than the book. I left a comment (as DSieve @ 9:18am) ~~~ I had a little bit of time this weekend and read a little over half the book. Reading it is like listening to Ron Paul speaking - covering many of the same topics he covered during the campaign, but (on most topics) in more depth and with references that provide a greater understanding of his positions. I was disappointed that he tended to use straw man arguements from time to time. He could have addressed some common criticisms of his positions a bit more effectively IMO.
