Poor Bastard.


He can't even sell a book without a Left/Right fistfight. Amazon's review section is getting packed to the gills with craptacular reviews, Republican 1 stars and Democratic 5 stars abounding, and I'm willing to bet 90% haven't even touched the book.

I actually read ten pages myself. Here's my review (posted on Amazon).

For such a big book, there seems to be so little. The drama of events and the personality of those involved never seem to make it off the page in any interesting way. You can't help but feel that the book was rushed, and in need of a co-writer or a better editor (possibly an editor with more time to work, as the word on the street is that there was no time for fine tuning). Clinton, his complexities, failures and successes will be better summed up years from now by some adept biographer. Read The Path to Power or The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt to pass the time until that happens.

Read all the other reviews (or buy the book) here.

P.S. - You can get it for free on SuprNova. If you're into that kinda thing. *warning - popups*
