Monica's Story

Rating:
Summary: Walk A Mile In HER Shoes
Review: Everyone knows that there are 3 sides to every story: theirs, yours, and the truth. This book tells Monica's Story . . . and make no mistake about it, it needs to be told.

Having worked with politicians for many years, I feel that it has more than just a ring of truth to it. Whether or not one chooses to believe it, Monica was one of the victims in this fiasco. Not an innocent victim, but a victim none-the-less.

Was she young, naive, and impressionable? Most definetely. Was she wrong to have an affair with Bill Clinton? No more so than anyone else who has an affair, because - like it or not - she's human like the rest of us. Is it easy for others to throw stones? Apparently so.

In this book, you'll discover how Monica was able to develop a relationship with the President of the United States, what she was thinking, what went wrong, and how her life and that of her family and close friends was subsequently affected.

You'll also get an up-close-and-personal look into the life experiences that helped shape Monica into the young woman she WAS and the woman she has BECOME.

But perhaps most disturbing of all, you'll see just how far Ken Starr was willing to go in his obsession to ruin Bill Clinton.

Andrew Morton tells Monica's Story with candor and precision, leading us expertly through events that won't be documented in history books. He shows us that Monica wasn't/isn't some ogre to be reviled . . . simply a young woman who had the misfortune of falling in love with the most powerful man in the world. Someone that, unfortunately, others had a vendetta against and, because pf that, she paid dearly.

It is a story of passion, obsession, betrayal, and corruption. It happened to Monica . . . and it could happen to you.

Summary: Monica's Story was a struggle to finish..
Review: I plunged into Monica's story with much anticipation, anxious to hear her take on all events that had transpired over the last year. The beginning staged Monica's life growing up, much more detail than most people probably care to know - I wanted to know about her relationship with the President (or at least her perspective) and not her entire life story. She isn't that valuable to society to have us all know this information. The book is not very well-written, with many typos and backwards English. If someone was writing this book about me, I'd make sure I came out looking a little less like a mental case. I found myself skipping pages toward the end and eventually just skipped to the last chapter. It's basically the same thing over and over again - and never once does Monica take ownership, she's always blaming others (maybe that was illustrated in the parts I skipped).

Summary: Puritanical virtues alive and well, but the economy?
Review: This book was quite dumb, and all that it does is emphasize how dumb people can be. If you're a Republican right-winger who's more interested in a president's, a man's, sexcapades than what he does with the economy, then read on by all means. This mindless book was made for you.
