Rating:  Summary: Get Real Review: The fact that so many reviewers have trashed Hillary and her book gets at the very heart of Living History. Whether you are a devout Clinton fan or a devout conservative, there is something about the Clintons- Hillary in particular- which has caught national attention and international imagination. Hillary's time may not have come yet, but Hillary herself has. In Living History she recounts her years inside and outside the White House in brief, but memorable passages. Those who complain that her controversial image is tired ought to wake up and look in the mirror themselves: Hillary is a legend as well as a spectacle that most people cannot pull their eyes away from. Don't think she's genuine? That's not the point. Don't think a woman should run? Too late. Hillary has arrived.
Rating:  Summary: More of the same Review: As if eight years in the White House wasn't enough, we're still being subjected to more lies, half-truths and distortions by Mrs. Clinton. To portray herself as a victim is hardly a worthy status as role model let alone presidential contender. And yes, character does matter.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting history of an interesting woman. Review: It's funny to me that most of the "reviews" on here have absolutely nothing to do with the book BEING reviewed, but a review of the subject's character. They're not selling Hillary Clinton on Amazon, they're selling a book. That said, I enjoyed the book. I am a registered independent (since that seems to matter so much in these reviews, that pesky political affiliation) so I purchased and read the book to learn more about Hillary and yes, I'll admit, to hear a bit of what was going through her mind as the Lewinsky scandal unfolded and lasted for what seemed like an eternity. I found her personal history interesting, the writing style fairly informal and personal, and the overall background to be thorough. Nobody, in ANY biography or memoir, is going to air every piece of dirty laundry or drag out all of skeletons in their closet - would you? I wasn't expecting her to bare all for an increasingly (and annoyingly) insatiable public need (or as it would seem to some, God-given right) to know all of the salacious details of those who live in the public eye. That said, I learned a lot about her and enjoyed doing so. For those who did not actually READ the book, and who just hate her and want to trash her, it's a shame that Amazon posts your "reviews" because they do nothing to help those who are interested in reading. Why not do the common sense thing and just stay away from the book ? It IS just a book, right?
Rating:  Summary: Don't waste your money.. It's cheaper to buy toliet paper... Review: What a farce... Buy only if your subscription to the National Inquirer has run out. The only reason I own this book is because someone gave it to me for free. I got about a quarter the way through and couldn't take any more. My wife didn't get much further. Pros: Made of paper, which is easily recycled. Cover may be used in place of ipecac in a pinch. Great gift for that someone you despise (if you were given a copy as a promotion). Cons: The Clintons... They are both cons. Is made of paper, meaning trees had to die for this waste of time. I'm no tree-hugger, but this is degrading even to trees!
Rating:  Summary: This is Hillary Review: Fiction recalled? Can't remember her name before the grand jury but can write fiction and call it history. Fiction.
Rating:  Summary: David Chadwick is a buffoon Review: I imagine the poor fellow who wrote the long-winded and sophomoric lead review of Hilary's book either has 1) a rather unhealthy obsession with anything Clinton related 2) too much time on his hands due to his losing his job thanks to the current administration's economic policies I recommend that he a) get a life b) get an editor c) get a ghostwriter d) get a life (did I mention that already?) e) all of the above
Rating:  Summary: Awsome!!!! It's about time we hear the truth!!!! Review: It's about time someone spoke up against these right-wing lunatics. She could easily beat "W" in the next election, especially if all the votes were counted.
Rating:  Summary: Ignore the one-stars Review: They clearly didn't read it.
Rating:  Summary: Amazing Reviews Review: Book released on June 9,2003.. Page count: 576... By June 11,2003 so many people have finished this book and have an opinion. Isn't it customary to "read" the book before sharing an opinion? So sad !!
Rating:  Summary: Aweful book. Review: This book is aweful. Woes me, my husband had an affair and told the whole country. Could we get any more from the victim?
