Summary: Carville and Matalin sizzle!
Review: Terrific book on the dirty game of politics. I cheered and laughed until the final word. I hope these two tangle one more time in a political campaign just so they can write about!

Summary: Charming and Insightful
Review: The best things about this book were Carville's folksy charisma and Matalin's graceful candor. I am a democrat who continues to gain respect for Matalin's charm and after reading this book, I even appreciate the wacky world that Carville lives in. Real life look into a presidential campaign which brought the larger than life spectacle that is a presidential race, to the level of the average reader. Bravo.

Summary: Acerbic, Fun Commentary on the Clinton Bush Campaign
Review: The two best known bulldogs of American politics come together to recount and conduct a post-mortem on the Clinton Bush presidential campaign: of course, from opposite sides of the political spectrum: Matalin for the GOP and Carville for the Dems. Acerbic and fun insider's perspective on the important events of the campaign, with a little measure of talk on their seemingly surprising stop and start romance. A must for the political junkie.

Summary: You should like politics at least a little,
Review: then you'll enjoy this book. The characters are irresistable. James: ruthless, irreverant & rude. He loves Mary. Mary: gracious, ambitious & respected. She loves James. Then there is President Bush & Govenor Clinton. She loves Bush & what she thinks he can do. He loves Clinton & what he stands for or purports to stand for. The classic conservative Republican vs the classic liberal Democrat. They loathe each others politics. But they are alike in may ways & are attracted to each other. They are both competative, brillant & have picked the same profession. They both love their jobs & are first wedded to them: until after election day. They've taken their act on the road now for years, on television & commercials. They are sort of the Bickersons of the 90's for political junkies. This book is history. It is an account of the 1992 campaign told from the unique perspective of two ultimate insiders to that campaign. Few people can do that, much less collaborate on a coherent book. This book has the virtue of giving both sides in one book by two people who love each other. That makes this book overall, balanced & very readable.

Summary: Great Read...very entertaining and insightful!
Review: This book is a modern day 'He said, She said' for political junkies to enjoy! I have found this book to be very insightful into the inside world of American Politics. Having read many books of advance teams for political campaigns, it's great to gain the insight of one of the most compelling campaigns of my lifetime. (Bush v Clinton) One of the things that surprised me in this book was how much I grew to enjoy reading James' sections of the book. I found myself reading in his voice and thoroughly enjoyed his southern sense of humor.
Great read for political junkies!

Summary: For either side of the political spectrum
Review: This book is one of my favorites. I read it for a class in college, and often go back to re-read it. I've purchased several copies as gifts for my politico friends as well. The style goes back and forth between Ms. Matalin and Mr. Carville, almost as if one is listening in on a conversation. They even interrupt one another! It's great fun to read, and definetly fun to quote. Both authors are brilliant people, with big opinions. --Jessica

Summary: this blows
Review: This book is the worse tasting mix of words i have ever seen, and hopefully, no one will ever write about George Bush, because he is by far the worst and lamest man alive!

Summary: Now that its history, its even more interesting
Review: This is one of my all time favorite books. I read it when it first came out and again recently. Its really interesting to read it now with a new George Bush in the White House and Ms. Matalin with a role in that administration.
This book explains the ins and outs of a political campaign in a highly readable fashion. You really get to see how the Republicans blew this one by leaning too far to the right much to Matalin's moderate horror. And you really have to admire Carville's skills after reading how he got Clinton out of one crisis after another, all while romantically involved with the head of his opponent's campaing.
