Summary: detailed descriptions of corruption, not written polemically
Review: This book detailes the corruption of not only the Clintons but Arkansas and Washington D.C. as well. The book paints a picture of the idealistic and somewhat tortured personal lives of two people who get caught up in the corruption of not only Arkansas, but Washington D.C. The book does get kind of bogged down in discussing tangents to the main theme of the book, the Clintons, but its meant to show what kind of Arkansas and Washington D.C. they came into politically. The book, although defintely not pro-Clintons, avoids purely polemical and emotional language and writing. It is a sad commentary on politics in general and our country when corrupt people can get into high places.

Summary: The reality of the Bill Clinton
Review: This is an excellent read! If you are unconvinced of the corruption we have had for the last eight years, then this book will cause you to reconsider. It also goes into detail as to how Bill Clinton got into this terrible state.
Anyone who dismisses this book as unsubstanstiated is obviously partisana and also hasn't been paying attention to the news for the last eight years. An objective and reasonable person will see the truth and the truth is what is written is true and well documented. Mind you this is a close friend of Bill Clinton who wrote the book! No agenda - just truth for those who can accept it.
This book highlights the pattern of deceit, drug use and corruption. Frankly, I'd rather not be in denial but admit the obvious about this man. Hopefull the American people will never allow someone of this low calibur ever become President again.

Summary: Inexcusable
Review: What type of biographer gets the birthdate of his subject wrong? Roger Morris's angle on the Clintons was pretty obvious in the opening pages. The tale we were in for was one of compromised values, and unvarnished ambition without any real ideals. I find the Clintons interesting, even fascinating. I am not an apologist or even a fan; I've read books that have both praised and pilloried them. And certainly, every biographer is entitled to their own point of view. But I lose all respect when I come across errors, especially ones so obvious as that which appeared on page 109. Morris states that in January 1947 Dorothy Rodham gave birth to a good natured baby girl. Anyone who has followed the Clintons -- least of all a biographer who spent over 3 years studying his subjects -- knows that Hillary Rodham Clinton was born on October 26th, 1947. That's where I put the book down, feeling a bit had. After all, any biographer who could be so carelessly cavalier with such a basic fact would have no problem bending impressions, quotes, etc to make his case. Inexcusable. Speaks volumes about the author, and about the sorry state of publishing right now. ellenpward@aol.com
