Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-05 00:00:00 Tariq Adl Bey I would have given this 3 1/2 stars if that had been an option. For a conservative republican like myself, this might seem like a weird book choice, but I found it to be an interesting view of what went on in the Clinton White House. It didn't make me like the Clintons any more or less, but it helped give me a better understanding of who they are. I found Stephanopoulos surprisingly honest about his faults which I appreciated. Had the whole book been about how wonderful he was while working in the White House I probably wouldn't have believed what he wrote. Because he was able to point out his mistakes and make honest assessments of his shortcomings I was able to trust when he did write about the positive things he did. I think when reading material like this you always have to keep in mind that this is the way one person viewed things, it doesn't mean that's exactly how it happened, it's just how they saw it happen and their take on it. Reading this did re-affirm for me that politics is a dirty business.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-19 00:00:00 Brandy Cook There was so much to enjoy in this - I flew through it. Descriptions of Bill and Hillary's relationship were real and fascinating and I loved how Stephanopoulos freely acknowledged the effect of his work on his mental health. This was such a fascinating look into the interplay between Clinton's personal problems and his political goals - particularly interesting to read about Dick Morris's frightening influence over Clinton. I couldn't get through Clinton's autobiography of his time as President- it was too meandering and each chapter told about a trillion stories. Stephanopoulos' book is how Clinton's should have been written. It gives sufficient detail about legislative fights and scandals borne by the Clinton administration, but doesn't lose you in a vortex along the way. I loved the last line too: if only this good President had been a better man. Perfect summary.
