The United States is in a 50-states-wide couples’ counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together?
Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government - after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today? - to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It’s ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the US into being.

Brilliant, entertaining, a must listen.
Collin Quinn is brilliant and entertaining. His raspy voice can become a bit irritating over long periods of time, but I can't imagine anyone else reading it.

Loved it!
I'm a foreigner living in Canada and having been watching American TV/movies for a decade. I haven't lived in US but Quinn's book introduced me an awful lot history about each state and each states character. it was fun listening and his own reading makes the content even more comical and enjoyable!!
