One Citizen's Word- All Citizen's responsibility. Nov 12, 2007
By Robert L. Brunswick
"Dungaree Dog"
It is like Ms. Whitmarsh reached into my head, and ripped out all the things I have been mulling over for years. This is not only "One Citizen's Word", it should be the consciousness of every citizen of the country.
It is an easy read, but, entirely thought provoking. It should be converted into a hard drive that should be implanted in every citizen of this totally misguided country.
If you have the capacity to see past what you are supposed to think, and understand simple logic, I highly recommend you buy this book.
Perhaps you wont agree with everything between it's pages, but, if you don't come away thinking about the way you perceive existence, and finding the need to change certain things within your life....well, you deserve the mess we presently exist in.

One Citizen's Words: an English teacher's dream Oct 18, 2007
By Heidi L. Howell
I just finished reading One Citizen's Words by Christine Whitmarsh. It is a rather short novel that took me about 45 minutes to read, an hour to think and plan, and (assuming) a lifetime to forget.
Let me first start by telling you that I have found the first text that my students will be reading. One Citizen's Words is an English teacher's dream. It's full of juicy, thought provoking quips. There are even review questions at the end of every chapter, like it was made as a teaching aide.
Every page of this wordfest contains some very rich content. If I were to write a book, this is what mine would be - a bunch of thoughts all explored with detail. I hope that my book would be half as entertaining and intriguing, but this is a work of art.

In My Own Words... Aug 30, 2007
By Revvell P. Revati
"http://BodaciousLiving.com"
... this book is a gem. Granted I didn't understand some of what Christine writes only because our interests are different and I had no idea what she was talking about but for those who are in and of the world you'll understand even more of what she's saying. You may not agree with what she says yet, she has every right to express her experiences ~ being alive and varied, courageous and circumspect. As another reviewer said, I laughed out loud at so many things I related to such as imaginative students being labeled with A.D.D., people who end their sentences in "...sooooo..." and so much more! If you like to read, this is one you should absolutely get just because it is unique and speaks of the printed word in a way no one else but Christine Whitmarsh can speak them.

A Fine Debut of a Talented Essayist and Social Critic Jun 04, 2007
By Alan Fox
This is the refreshing emergence of a new voice. For all of us who enjoy a new and different viewpoint on life, this is a gem. I found myself laughing out loud many times. Christine Whitmarsh gives us a new view on our day-to-day lives and connects the dots of our culture in ways you might never otherwise consider. This is indeed a fine debut of a talented essayist and social critic.
-- Alan Fox, Author of The Seeker in Forever
Nicely Done! Oct 11, 2007
By Chantelle C. Tibbs
"chantelle"
This book has some really good highlights. It's a good read. I also enjoyed answering some of the questions that were asked. it's really interactive writing, the author definitely wants her voice heard but she truly and genuinely wants others to be heard as well which is quite rare.
Christine Whitmarsh has some very interesting and comedic views on some of the most random topics. LOVE the camparison between Red Sox and Yankees fans, love the lesbian story by the way. CLASSIC, and the Native American "If we'd only thought of this" was brilliant.
Don't want to ruin the rest for you, just buy it. Coming from a very hard reader to please, this book is quality.
