Reviews: "As someone who has started Ann Rand's Atlas Shrugged and never finished it, I applaud David Brenner's wise decision to making his book light and brief. The book addresses extremely important topics in a lighthearted and easy to grasp fashion. Stepping back and understanding that not all good intentions lead to good outcomes should be central to our thought processes. -MAF "In an age where we often talk past each other, David Brenner has given us a delightful, humorous, and yet believable story that illustrates well how government-imposed redistribution of wealth hurts the 'least of these' and wrecks an economy." -GA "With our children being bombarded with false ideologies, it is refreshing to find someone countering these flawed and dangerous ideas. The Un-Socialist Chickens does just that, debunking socialist ideology in a short and entertaining account of heroic and innovative farmyard beasts who experience first-hand the damaging effects of socialism and push back against its tyrannical and fruitless demands. The Un-Socialist Chickens will delight young and old readers alike while guiding them to become free, productive citizens. -JH
