Insightful, honest and thought provoking.

He made his point then talked about nothing the entire book, what a waste of time to read to read this.

I like how this book gives a deeper perspective on the way the world is, posing questions as to why it’s that way.

Gorgeous thoughts put into Action.

All Americans should read through this

HDT speaks to us today as much as he did over 150 years ago. We probably should all reassess our allegiances, and reevaluate our priorities in this life.

Still relevant... thought provoking. HDT asks several questions that demand attention.

Interesting thoughts on the purpose of government, the conduct thereof, and the behavior of peoples.

While dated in its language at times, this is an excellent view that could be easily misconstrued if one were to ignore its core message.

Thoreau speaks boldly and unabashedly as he presents his libertarian views on government as well as on the great extent to which an individual must go to ensure that he has no part in any evil carried out by a government. He has harsh words for the vast majority of citizens, whom he admonishes for following the law rather than following what is morally right, and for being weak and hypocritical even in their critique of the government. Along the way, Thoreau makes brilliant and hard-hitting observations about society that cannot be denied and forces the reader to rethink the relationship between themselves and the state. The read is thought-provoking in the extreme.
