Summary: Hillary's History
Review: To write an autobiography, it should be fact, not fiction. I believe Hillary has covered herself quite thoroughly in the FACT
that she did not write it, so therefore another thing she CANNOT
be held accountable for.
For all of those that state this is the best book, I respectfully have to asked how much reading you truly do. For all
of the Clinton Haters, the Clinton Apologists and any one in between, please remember truth goes alot farther than spin. Her
best friend wrote a book that dismisses her accounts, therefore one of them is lying. She has kept herself and her daughter quite out of the realm of any publicity, therefore giving a thirst for WHAT makes her tick, WHO is she? This book does not offer any answers. That is a shame. I have to say, it just gives more questions, WHY does she think she has the ability to lead a nation when she cannot be truthful and accesible to answer questions. Jackie Kennedy she is not. On one hand she gives you the notion that she has emulated her, but Jackie was a lady, not a power hungry woman. When she talks about her husbands accomplishments, WHAT accomplishments. THe economy? HE had nothing to do with it. If he did than we need to put the blame on him for the last three years, cuz it was headed that way 12 months before he left office. The book is a stream of blame others, any one that carries Republican on their voters registration, for being noted as the smartest woman we have to offer in America scares the bg's out of me, because that really must be why other countries laugh at us. HOW is she so smart?
That she can accomplish so little, and be given accolades for much. WHAT has she truly done for woman or children, except TALK ...

Summary: Nice Read
Review: This was a VERY interesting book to read. I really enjoyed reading about the Clinton years through the eyes of our first lady. If there were more women in this country that were as driven and hard working as Hillary, this country would be a much better place. Go Hillary!

Summary: I Knew It All Along
Review: The Clinton Administration is now in the past. And that is too bad for America. The years of the Clinton Synergism were among the most prosperous and peaceful this country as seen. I only hope that the American people will remember the facts in 2008.
Oh, yes -- the book! I read it non-stop in less than a day. And I read it with a critical eye. I did not expect to find what I did: Excellence in its descriptions of things I thought I already knew and a lot more I didn't realize I knew nothing about.
Naturally Mrs. Clinton paints a positive picture of the events concerning her; one would hardly expect otherwise. What I did not anticipate was the level of candidness she does display. But most impressive to me is the energy with which Hillary Clinton pursues her goals for human rights and dignity for all people.

Summary: The Free Ride continues
Review: It's one thing to be accused of belonging to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for disliking the Clintons (I always have), but I do get annoyed when the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy condemns me for "not moving on" when criticizing them now--especially when THEY SIMPLY WILL NOT GO AWAY.Now we have Hillary's 500-page opus and it only throws more logs on the fire:
How can someone as smart as Hillary say with a straight face that she believed Bill right up until his August grand jury appearance regarding Monica?
When the committee got together to discuss how Hillary could forgive Bill in the book, didn't anyone ask how ridiculous and overreaching it would be to compare it to Nelson Mandela's imprisonment?
For a woman who spent 8 years saying "I can't recall" and "I don't remember," she appears to have regained her memory--as long as it doesn't pertain to everything we'd like to know. As Bill labors on his book (due out next year), their true story is how long they've been able to foist themselves on the American public and the endless gall in which they revise their tawdry, power-mad legacy.
The free ride continues....

Summary: Great read on better times!
Review: Unlike long wordy accounts, this candid biography conducts an easy-flowing take on Mrs. Hillary Clinton's early life plus the more famous years as a democratic First Lady. Excellent, relevant, and informative--the hallmark conduct of this dynamic New York Senator. Living History is a wonderful addition for any American history buff, any humanist, most feminists, and those who understand: the ones who change the world are the ones who dare to step and often stumble. Unfortunately, here at Amazon, several reviewers have posted only as a negective vote against a STRONG WOMAN--and Not this book. (Fear motivates many underhanded egoes when a delicate election years are on the horizon.) As yet, I've found no value in perfectionists who tend to do much of nothing but mock and deride.

Summary: Inspiring
Review: Personally I think that this book was wonderful. I am a cheap person, so i may suggest waiting for paperback, but other than that...I think she is a wonderful person, and despite her husbands affairs, and lying, i say if she has decided to stay with him, then its nobody's business. It never was. The book was not just about that, but on her whole political life, and I found it inspiring and compelling.

Summary: Never laughed so hard in my life!
Review: It's frightening that anyone takes this woman seriously. That said, this book had me cracking up at every page. Whatever you think of Hillary Clinton, you have to admire her brass, so I gave it a higher rating than I usually give ghostwritten fiction.

Summary: to the "neo-conservative" ... machine
Review: ok, all you little bushies out there- you're like the christians that speak out against a movie that you find objectionable when you've never even seen it. don't you know that negative publicity is still publicity? you're just going to increase sales for this book, which is just what you don't want. republicans and conservatives will do anything to promote their agendas, and have never had trouble with being downright mean. i for one have grown tired of your rantings; just like with our current administration, you lie and cheat and cry wolf once too often, people aren't going to pay attention- they'll just think you're all loud, whiny, even dangerous liars. i hope hillary runs for president- i'd vote for her.

Summary: Liar Liar Liar
Review: This liar is trying to rewrite history to explain Whitewater, Travelgate and the health-care fiasco. LIAR. The "right-wing conspiracy" is a convenient coverup for her lying, cheating and stealing. How come no mention of the White House china? LIAR. If her husband had made better use of the oval office, maybe the government's intelligence agencies would have been better prepared to prevent 9-11. LIAR. Hillary should be ashamed of herself ... but there is obviously no shame in a Clinton. This country has had enough of these moral degenerates. We don't need history re-written by this self-serving and despicable book. LIAR!

Summary: Well-written, detailed, poignant, public-spirited
Review: This is a rich, full book, amazing in the sheer number of details Hillary Rodham Clinton gives of her own life, the hundreds of people whose lives have touched hers, and her personal perceptions of history unfolding in this country and abroad during the eight years of Bill Clinton's presidencey. She is surely as remarkable a figure as Eleanor Roosevelt--strong, highly intelligent, public-spirited, energetic--with a deep realization of the proper responsibilities of individuals and governments. Like Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to learn things for herself--and passed her insights to her president-husband. And like Eleanor Roosevelt, she became a public servant herself. From her experience of visiting every single state in the United States, as well as 78 foreign countries, she gained a rare perspective on what this world is like and what can and should be done to make life better for everyone. She writes especially about children and women, underprivileged in many places and indeed often suffering in dire conditions. Besides writing about her public life, she is frank about many aspects of her personal experience, and the reader feels poignantly the stresses that constant public scrutiny, often unfriendly, have placed upon her. At the same time, the reader feels with her a kind of satisfaction and triumph that she has done the best she could, and that was pretty damn good! This book is so full that sometimes, near the middle of its 562 pages, it is slow going for a few pages. But it is worth the effort. Awe-inspiring!
