Summary: True American Love Story
Review: A wonderfully written book, showing that old fashion marriage, love & respect are still alive In America.
The love and respect they have for one another is so evident. Being in the spotlight doesn't stop this beautiful couple from showing the love and respect they have for one another. It shows a book will hold your interest without it having to be filled with sexual thoughts and actions. Loved the book and believe others will as well. Good old fashion love story.

Summary: Pack of lies
Review: George and Laura is a book that proves interesting for political aficionados, yet reveals hardly anything to write home about. Although some liberal reviewers have made mention to the contrary, this book is no 'fluff' account intended to pander to the Bushes. It is, for all intents and purposes, a look into the trying times of 9/11, the blunders of Bush's exceedingly chronicled youth, the meeting of the two, as well as the incredible adversity overcome by both.While reading this, at times I would feel that this was a malicious attack on the Bushes, but all in all, it was relatively evenhanded as it revealed both good and bad accounts of their lives. I was unaware of Laura's vehicular manslaughter incident as well as her near death experience while delivering the twins. Other than that, this book provides few insights into their lives. In summation, I deem it worth a checkout from the library, but hardly worth a purchase.

Summary: Insightful
Review: I loved this book. It was like a "Biography" episode including details on families, childhoods. I see one person wrote "come on George you can do better than this" uh...hello..
he didn't write the book! another saying "pure fiction". Not sure how listing moving here and moving there and various jobs and turmoil is fiction, but there's a hate filled liberal for you. I thought this was a nice sweet book about real people and it's nice to be reminded they still exist, politics aside. It made me want to read more about Bush Sr. and Barbara, which is how I wondered into this area..I thought I may as well post.

Summary: A true and eventful look at a real American marriage
Review: I started reading this book on a Friday night and finished it on Saturday. It is such a welcoming look at a real marriage portrayole. It reminded me so much of my husband and myself, who also will be married 27 years this July. My Daughter read it first, brought it to me, now my son and husband are agruing who gets to read it next! Christopher Andersen did a great and explicit job of portraying these two intoxicating, loving, yet determined individuals in this book. Hats off to you. What a great read. I recomment this one at 5 stars!

Summary: Andersen Scores Again
Review: I've read some of Christopher Andersen's previous biograhies and always found them entertaining and packed with new information. But frankly I didn't think the story of George and Laura Bush's marriage would --or could -- be as much fun to read as his books on Princess Diana, the Clintons and John F. Kennedy, Jr. I was wrong. This up-close "portrait of a marriage" brings their relationship and personalities into much clearer focus. I still don't like George Bush's politics, but I was fascinated by this behind-the-scenes glimpse into what brought him and Laura together and why their marriage works. It kept me turning pages from start to finish.

Summary: Mmmm, tangy
Review: The best part of this wonderful tribute to commercial marriage was the sound effects CD. I mean how often do you get to hear Laura and George grunt. I tell you, it gave me the shivers. Then, when I thought it couldn't get any better I found the scratch and sniff section. That was too much. I was beyond redemption at that point. Frankly, I don't know how they are able to sell this gem for so little. I suppose they stiffed the ghost writer. (Do you think it was Lynn Cheney?) Anyway, if you want a presidential grunt and sniff fest for you very own bedroom then this is the book for you. I've literally gotten minutes of pleasure from this book and so has my peeping Tom neighbor, Alonzo, downstairs.

Summary: Recommended for non-Bush supporters
Review: The insights into Bush's character, past experiences, and the events that shape his values & decision making are the highlights here. I was surprised to learn more about the successful business career in the oilfield his absentee father built and how that impacted W. I was surprised to learn the depth of W's "good times" exploits. Laura Bush emerges as very human, very mature and very much in the right place & time for America & its President. Without Laura, W. would no doubt be a successful businessman & probably a major wheeler-dealer. But, he would not be President. If read with an open mind, the unfolding story is one of a man's maturing, leading and just now flourishing. "Warts & all" is a good description, except these warts may be proving to be leadership beauty marks. Time will tell, but we already know a lot! A very good book......

Summary: Oh Puh-leez
Review: This book is a piece of fluff. I wish I'd read the back flap of the book jacket to discover that it was written by an editor from People magazine. Either Christopher Anderson was doing what newspaper journalists are taught, which is to write to the eighth grade level, or this guy simply can't write. He can write but I don't think he's a very good author. Having said that... This book is practically a propaganda puff, feel good, piece for the right, and I'm not even a leftist. I'm a conservative. We get it that George LOVES Laura to pieces and that she is the redeemer of his misguided life but puh-leez where is some of the conflict that surely has transpired in their marriage? There's a few allusions to it but mainly expressed in nominal two or three sentences. For instance, there must have been MAJOR battles about his alcoholism but strangley, there's a lot of detail missing about that. Their children are obviously angry and defiant and yet there are no clues into what could cause such rebellion in their children. Christopher Anderson had written something like 23 books, I get the idea that to him writing biographical books is no less taxing than writing celebrity articles for People maganzine. I will give him credit though for chronicling W's youthful partying escapades in adequate detail.
