Summary: Well researched
Review: This book put together a lot of research in a mostly engaging form. It says a lot about W that he would try to supress this book. The beginning chapters about his childhold are fairly tame but the hectic politcal chapters are amazing. Amazing to me that someone could be such a complete liar and sell-out. This is a great book for anyone who wonders how Bush got to be where he is.
Rating:
Summary: Well researched and revealing
Review: This book should be required reading for those who think Bush can relate to us common people. It's an amazing accumulation of information that illustrates what a monster we have in the Whitehouse. I'd give this one ten stars if that was possible.

Summary: This book was retracted due to right-wing political pressure
Review: This is a good book that should be read by all Americans who seek truth in reporting.The statement by the reader from Nashua is disingenuous. The book was retracted by the original publisher (St Martin's Press) due to overwhelming political pressure from the right, led by the White House, which the subject of the book illegally claimed in 2000 as a result of a political appointment by the right-dominated Supreme Court. All thinking Americans will realize that this book alone provides sufficient documentary evidence for grounds of action of impeachment against George W. Bush.

Summary: Fortunate Son - Unfortunate Country
Review: This is one of those books you will love if you don't like the Bush family and their politics. The prose is engaging; The plot turns razor sharp corners at high speed; The revelations are overwhelming. The questions I asked myself after reading the book are: Why should I care if the author had a checkered backround?
How many of the facts are true? The ones I could check are.
How did the Bush family manage to suppress the stories in the book?
Why have other politicians been vilified publicly for fewer and less serious infractions? This is a book as revealing about the political system as it is about the Bush family. By the way, "W" does seem to be a sympathetic if somewhat flawed person in this book which makes one ask why all the hypocracy in trying to suppress it?
Rating:
Summary: Nothing but slander written by a thug
Review: This is the book full of slander and lies written by a man who hired a hitman in an unsuccessful attempt at murder. Those who despise President Bush will continue to enjoy books like this however as they are full of lies as to what they want others to believe.

Summary: Documents Bush's cocaine arrest - brilliant!
Review: This is the book that (in its last chapter) documents with excruciating detail Dubya's arrest for cocaine possession and subsequent community service punishment...and how he got the records destroyed as governor by taking the unprecedent action of issuing a new driver's license to himself and essentially erasing himself as a person in Texas prior to that time. Devastating and brilliant!

Summary: Unfounded Accusations Should Only be Made Against Democrats
Review: This is the book that the Bush family pulled as many strings as they could to stop. In fact, George W. was able to use his connections to have the book recalled and burned. Why would they go to this kind of extreme? Because this book exposes a lot of dark and immoral stuff that has to do with Bush. Mind you, the Bush family never openly denied any of the charges, just fought to stop other people from reading about them. This is scary and begs the question, why were all of these crazy books that questioned Bill Clinton's principles and morals allowed? Are allegations only allowed when they attack Democrats? And I thought the media was liberal.

Summary: good try!
Review: This was encouraging.
But if you have been educated by today's oversimplified
American TV reports, you may cry reading this. Many of the facts found in this book, along with the
fact that the original publisher run away under pressure
from Bush family and the White House, are quite well known
outside America. There are many other books published
in many other countries, presenting this kind of information.
So we knew.
We thought Americans didn't want to know these things.
We thought intellectual braveness was history in the US.
But what is found here is that Americans still have
guts to face the reality and facts that are not too
confortably "patoriotic". This is braveness. It is good
to know that there are still some room for check and
balance in the US, the power to publish still working. You could know these facts about him and still support him.
In fact, knowing all these facts (also from other sources),
I still think he is one of today's best leader of the world.

Summary: This book was retracted by the original publisher
Review: This [item] was discredited long ago. It was retracted by the original publisher and now some opportunist has come along and released an even cheezier paperback version. Leftists and liberals will love this book. Objective, conservative, or right-wing persons will dismiss it for the unsubstantiated, originally-retracted [item] that it is.
