A Patriot's History Of The United States by Larry Scheweikart and Michael Allen : How accurate and thorough is this book?

Hi, I'm homeschooled and in high school, and we're doing American history this year. One of the main books my curriculum assigned this year is A Patriot's History of the United States by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen. I've already gotten a feel for the book and read some reviews, but I'd really like to hear a few more opinions from people who have actually read it and know their history. I'm not particularly strong at history, so my biggest concern is that I'll read something that's presented as an established fact, but is actually wildly inaccurate or misleading, and I won't know enough to recognize it.

If you've read A Patriot's History, could you PLEASE comment with your thoughts? I'd really appreciate it if you could point out any specific claims, events, or sections that are factually wrong, seriously misleading, or missing important context.

Summary: Is A Patriot's History Of The United States by Larry Scheweikart and Michael Allen mostly a biased interpretation of real history, or are there places where it actually gets the history itself SERIOUSLY wrong?
