 I Wish I Could March 15, 2010

This is a book about which I heard good things, and >I WISH I COULD< actually submit a review. This is impossible at the present time, however, because the book never arrived. It was supposed to've been shipped from Amazon subseller TEATREE, INC., and it had a "delivery window" of 3 weeks. The book never arrived; has still never arrived; it shows no signs of ever arriving, despite what I would call more of a delivery "Barn Door" than a window!! And also despite an e-mail msg to TeaTree -- with my order number -- describing the pblm and requesting a response. Nothing. These are things I "would have wanted to know before (I) purchased the product". So altho I WISH I COULD review "Game Change" for anybody who might be interested, as you can see, that is not possible. (Oh, yes....I HAVE received my *Amazon Credit Card* bill for this purchase, however. A bill with a 14% interest rate for non- or late-payment, my wife tells me. But the book I still do not have.)

A fast read. Plenty of juicy anecdotes about the main players, and, some revealing looks at them, and their ability to lead. The authors leave little room to question that the best person won, assuming their telling of the facts are true and fair.
Game Change - "Unputdownable!" March 14, 2010
L. Quido (Tampa, FL United States)
This is an entertaining look at the 2008 Presidential election from a couple of Washington insiders who viewed some of it up close and personal, and had a lot of connections and sources to fill in the blanks. Since the campaign itself immersed a lot more of the population in process, this is a good look back for a lot of readers. There is a slight Obama slant, but the public gets to see far more of the "warts" of politics at this level, and really, has to wonder why anyone would choose to insert themselves into this crazy process.
I tried to ignore the early gossip about the book and the "reveals" and just evaluate it on the face of my own reading experience.
Edwards, Palin, McCain and Bill Clinton take the most hits of any other figures in the book. Hilary, while at a loss in the race, comes off as the most believable and heroic of all the figures (and I'm not a fan!). There is good support for all the smart moves made by the Obama campaign and realistic introduction of some of the criticsm of his past connections. All in all, a fascinating account, without any particularly laudable skill in the phrasing or historical significance.
Enjoy!
Interesting behind the scenes read March 14, 2010

I followed the presidential campaign quite closely, and I still learned a good bit from this book. Did it cover issues or policy? Not really. But it does give you a sense of the candidates' personalities and how they managed their campaigns. My only quibble - spent perhaps too much time on Obama's decision to run and on Iowa, and very little at all on candidates who didn't gain traction, like Romney, Huckabee, Dodd, and other Democrats.
 Interesting read!!! March 14, 2010

Fascinating read. Once you get into the book it is hard to put down. It will also change your views on politics, politicians in general and the election process.
