Ok, but not the full book

This is not the book. This is a speech by Hilary, commenting on the book. The speech itself is good, and she does give a few excerpts from the book, however, I was disappointed that this was not the actual book.

I expected the book and was not interested in the lecture. I still want to hear the book.

I wish I read the other reviews. I was interested in the listening to the book, not a hearing Hillary talk about the book. The title of this selection should really be changed.

Kind of boring

I was surprised to find this book was only 1 CD long. I thought it was her autobiography so I was disappointed that it was merely a speech.

I also enjoyed listening to the speech, but was really disappointed because I thought it was going to be a reading of the entire book. Description is missleading.

Although I don't support abridged versions, this one provided a more than adequate representation of the former First Lady's experiences leading up to and during her years in the White House. I would have liked to have heard more about her decision to run for Senate, but she provided an amazing overview of the Clinton presidency with a balanced presentation of both the good and bad. The 90's were an amazing decade and the Clinton's helped to shape the economic recovery and fostered renewed optimism. The book provides a nice reminder of the events of that decade which had us living the good life in the shadow of forboding about what was to come in 2001.

Not what you think

I thought this would be a reading of part or all of her book. That is not what it is. It's a 37 minute speech she gave at a college that includes bits and pieces from her book.

Mrs. Clinton presents an interesting perspective on events. About what would be expected from the left side of the aisle.

The Clinton Years

Written by BLW on April 5th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 3/5

I enjoyed this book because I closely followed the Clinton White House and legislature for eight years. They tried to get regular people interested and involved in old-fashioned politics. Does anyone remember politics before lobbyists and giant corporations and the accompanying corruption? While the Clintons were not perfect, they were both busy, hard-working, and extremely intelligent. So even if you didn't agree with every policy (which I did not), they were masterful politicians. I think some of the ideas are still valid (and in need of attention today).
