Summary: Honor and love
Review: A beautiful picture of a honorable man and woman in love. I never realized the cynicism that grew in my heart during the Clinton administration until I found myself refreshed and surprised by this peek into the marriage of the Reagans. So much of what we discover when we look closely at the marriage of a president is sordid and causes disillusionment. This was a glimpse into the life of a married couple that together earned the White House, while never losing sight of what was truly important. My respect for Ronald and Nancy Reagan grew as I read his letters and notes to her. She is now taking care of this man, although he is sick and may not recognize her, because of the investment of love and devotion that he made into her life during the early years of their marriage. They are a picture of God truly working all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I am so grateful that she wrote this book and allowed us to see the Ronnie that she loves and serves.

Summary: Touching.
Review: To all you Reagan-haters (especially those who have savaged Nancy, and think her to be a shrew), read this and weep. I have always admired Ronald Reagan's clear, steadfast ideology and fine-tuned political instincts, and Mrs. Reagan's book of his love letters adds to his stature in my eyes. After reading his letters spanning 40 years, I was almost a little steamed at RR...he's spoiled it for all us husbands for all time! What man could ever live up his example? He reveals himself to be clever, inventive, charming, and totally smitten with Nancy. She comes off well, too, if only because any woman who inspires this level of devotion must be a person of great worth. Once you read this book, you cannot ever doubt that it was he (and he alone) who wrote the moving letter about his Alzheimer's affliction to the American people in 1994. Through it all, Reagan comes through as a man who is completely at ease with himself and one who has his priorities straight. Such devotion and love! A political side note -- I doubt we'll ever see such a book penned by the present First Lady!

Summary: Wow. Shocking.
Review: Wow. I had no idea that Reagan wrote so childishly over and over and over again. His emotional maturity seemed to be stunted at 14. He seems to think that romance is love. Some pretty pathetic stuff here - "Nancy Poo Pants" ? People obsessed with him with love this, people who hate him will not even pick it up. It certainly will help, however, in the public relations camapign being waged to make people feel sentimental and sympathetic and replace that with reason and objectivity in assessing the genuine achievements of this good Chief Executive. I think that the real hero in all of this is Nancy Reagan. She is the one who had to carry the emotional and adult aspects of their entire existence.

Summary: Helpful Hints for Husbands
Review: Have you read any 'feel good' books lately? Then read this one! I would recommend this book to every husband in America. Ronald Reagan reminds us through the cherished notes and letters he wrote to Nancy through their years together, of how a husband is supposed to treat his wife. This book leaves no doubt to the devotion and adoration shared by the former first couple.
See inside the heart of the Great Communicator. Some of it is silly, catching moments of playful teasing, while others are hard core serious devotion to the woman Ronald Reagan truly adores. As you read through the pages of this book, you will discover yourself smiling incessantly.
A light read with just under 200 pages, with a collections of photos, telegrams, cards and letters from Ronnie to Nancy. The book is prefaced by Nancy Reagan. This book serves to remind us not to be too busy to take to let our loved ones know what they mean to us. After all, if the President can make time to do that, can't the rest of us?
Husbands, read this book and learn from it before your wife reads it and wishes you were more like Ronnie!

Summary: A Tribute And Grand Legacy
Review: There is evidently a survey done annually that asks people to rate who the greatest Presidents were to have served this Country. Number one has often been Abraham Lincoln, and he was so chosen again this year. Number two was John F. Kennedy, and number three was Ronald Reagan. I have always been a great admirer of the man, but I never had strong impressions about his wife. This collection of memories by Former First Lady Nancy Reagan entitled, "I Love You Ronnie", portrays Mr. Reagan as one might expect. Of greater interest was what can be learned about this Country's Former First Lady. You do not have to read very far into this book of letters and recollections to understand that their marriage was unique. The bond between them reads more like a fairly tale, and that makes the truth of it all the more unusual. Their story of course has been heading toward its end through the tragedy of Alzheimer's, however even this trial was shared publicly for the benefit it may bring. This book as well will benefit The Alzheimer's Foundation as well as The Presidential Library Of Mr. Reagan. The last fact is important as it clears the air as to the suggestion this book was written for profit and personal wealth for Mr. And Mrs. Reagan. Mrs. Reagan was often portrayed as a woman who was impossible to get along with, an interference, and a borderline head case when she was alleged to have sought the advice of an astrologer regarding her husband's activities. Her decisions become clearer even if you do not share her belief in the methods she may have consulted, and to why she conducted herself the way she did. This is a couple of nearly 50 years who would write notes to each other when they were only across the room. This is a couple that was as excited about being together decade after decade as they were in the opening days of their initial romance. Their relationship is so lengthy and intense it could almost be called symbiotic. Three months after he becomes President he is shot and very nearly dies. She would later have Cancer, and he would deal with Cancer not once but twice in his administration. They always shared these personal travails with the public in the hope it would help others. They had a special respect for, and a relationship with The American People. Going on National television and telling the Nation mind your own business would not have occurred to this President. The book is also helpful in gaining an insight as to how he evolved via his relationship with General Electric, from a spokesperson for them, to a man that became first the Governor of California, and then the President, twice. Much of what Mrs. Reagan has to say would be dismissed out of hand by more "modern" First Ladies. How she viewed her responsibilities are for readers to judge. For readers who were around and aware of Mr. Reagan's years in office, you will remember they were not perfect, no administration ever has been. But after only a very short time as measured by History, this Country's citizens recall him as one of the finest. Americans remember what they felt like when he spoke, how he took us out from the "Malaise" of the self-described Carter Presidency, and made this Country once again feel good about what and who we were/are. Mrs. Reagan clearly contributed to the success of her Husband, and by extension to his Presidency and all of us. This was a man who would not remove his jacket when in the oval office out of respect for the History the room and his predecessors represented. Whether you like the man and his wife or not, an objective review of how they conducted their White House Years will stand as well as any in our Nation's History, and perhaps put into perspective just how atrocious the Conduct of Mr. Clinton, and the presumption of Mrs. Clinton were. The Presidency is about a great many things, many ideals, and many lofty goals that may never be reached. A Great President and First Lady add to the legacy of other great First Couples before them. They never disgraced the office, themselves, or their Country, by turning the home of the President into a front page National Enquirer Joke. To learn why this was never even a possibility, read the book.

Summary: Heartwrenching
Review: Containing love letters that Ronald wrote to Nancy Reagan throughout their relationship up until he developed Alzheimers, the book is a touching story of an intense love and devotion that the public was not always aware of. Quite an eloquent and prolific writer, some of the letters he wrote are published in the book and explained by Nancy to better explain the man he was to her, not just his country.
