A must for anyone interested in history
What made the experience of listening to Common Sense the most enjoyable?
It's like taking a peek into the hearts and minds of the American revolution. Profoundly interesting, even for a mildly history interested European like myself.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
It surprised me that I didn't have much trouble following the narrative even though it's in 1700s English and I'm not a native speaker.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Paine's use of religious references to underline some of his point. Surprisingly many.

A MUST READ for every American!
Enormously popular and widely read propaganda pamphlet, published in 1776, clearly and persuasively argues for American separation from Great Britain and paves the way for the Declaration of Independence. Eloquent, persuasive and incendiary. I can see why this pamphlet was so influential. A must read for every American!
