Reading, "A History of US From Colonies to Country"  was interesting, yet easy to comprehend. I think the author, Joy Hakim, did an excellent job of writing. She delivered the information in a very basic, but understandable way. By that I mean reading about history can sometimes be very humdrum to the average person. Her way of writing kept my attention throughout. I already had a decent amount of knowledge about US history before reading this book, but she added some really interesting points that I have never heard  before. I think she also hits both sides of the brain. What I mean by that is she will give you a fact about something, then elaborate on it, or give you several examples to better explain the fact she is trying to get you to know and understand. In my opinion, it is a very effective method to use when writing about history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
