The book was, at times, hard to follow...it was hard to keep track of who was who. Often, the book read more like a history and M. de Tocqueville wasn't a robust enough frame on which to hang a history of France.

It would have been better to end with some analysis of why M. de Tocqueville and his writing remain important today.
