Rating:  Summary: A Valuable Historical Document Review: This fine biography illuminates for us a portrait of a man who is the quintessential, literal embodiment of all the Democrat Party's morals, ethics, ideologies and standards -- along with the woman who does the same for all Democrat females. It is a valuable historical reference. Don't miss it.
Rating:  Summary: Sheds a different light on the whole scandal Review: This is the infamous book on Monica Lewinsky, the President's mistress.While the reason that I picked up this book was because I didn't have anything else handy to read, I surprisingly found the book a fascinating read. The book does not cover the scandal as much as the people behind the scandal. The book portrays Ms. Lewinsky as a lost young woman who happened to fall in love with a married man, who happened to be the president. Ms. Lewinsky portrays President Clinton not as the womanizer Judge Starr and the media portrayed him as, but as a man, who had a poor marriage and was lonely. Judge Starr was portrayed not as the man looking for truth and justice as I though he was, but as a cold, thoughtless person only looking after his own personal, political agenda. The only downfall to the book is that everyone knows how the story ends. However, I became so engrossed in the book because it focused on the people of the scandal, not the scandal itself. It changed how I thought about the major players in the whole affair. While I found the book fascinating, the book is not for everyone. The story is yesterday's news, and many people would rather the whole thing just went away. However, if you want to see the scandal from a point of view other than the mass media's, I would highly recommend this book.
