Review: On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

On the Duty of Civil DisobedianceOn the Duty of Civil Disobediance by Henry David Thoreau

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

My small review for this book was lost; Goodreads shamelessly told me, after I had clicked save, that my review didn’t exist. Well, it existed up to the point you told me it didn’t exist anymore — which must had been true at that specific point in time, even if as a fact by itself it can’t explain the reason it did not exist anymore. Anyway, before I go on in stranger circles of logic, I’ll just say that the reason I’m giving this one two stars is because I read it/listened to it at the very same time I’ve been reading Walden, which I find superior in every way. If On the Duty of Civil Disobediance is the cherry leaf, Walden is the whole cake tree (changed the metaphor for it be more in line with the prevailing naturalism). Thus I will hold my words of praise for the mystery and inspiration of a man that was Henry David Thoreau until I come to review Walden.
