Summary: You can have your opinion, but...
Review: I love reading differing intelligent discussions of opinions on relevant issues, but this was not it. Noonan's assertion that she does not hate Clinton is a bigger bit of bull than everything she later says about Clinton. I pride myself on being a staunch independent, but this book could steer me from Republican opinions for years to come (nothing but partisan ramblings) not to mention the worse sin of the lot...it's boring.For all who think that this should influence us in New York, remember that the most popular book on her opponent is "Nasty Man". If you have an opinion of who we should pick, why don't you read the NY Times and see the headlines about what Rudy is up to before you tell us who we should or shouldn't vote for. You can have your opinion, but don't be so stupid as to think that it's worth my 20 bucks.

Summary: Thoughtful and eloquent. Clear and concise. Splendid.
Review: Peggy Noonan uses her considerable talent as a writer, in conjunction with insightful observations of Bill and Hillary Clinton to craft a truly damning portrait of the current First Lady. Hillary Clinton is exposed for what she clearly is, as demonstrated by her actions vs. her words: a charlatan, a phony - a dangerous and destructive influence in American politics. Ms. Noonan does us a great service in laying out in explicitly clear terms just why this nation cannot afford to be subjected to the continued influence of Clintonism - which it surely will be if Mrs. Clinton wins a Senate seat. Masterful prose - extraordinary insight.

Summary: NEW YORKERS, READ THIS BOOK!
Review: This is not the venomous screed others would have you believe it is. It is a level headed, quiet examination of HRC's credentials. Other than a good economy (thank Mr. Greenspan) the Clintons have accomplished little in their almost eight years, because their real mission is to get and retain power. It's all about THEM. That's why Bill keeps on fund raising and HRC has to run for office now...it's all about staying on the stage, not on accomplishing anything worthy for our country. Most important for New Yorkers, Noonan points out the now-almost-forgotten Healthcare debacle in which HRC tried to hide the plan from the public and failed to build a consensus; it was an utter failure. Now, she tells us that Rudy's not fit for the Senate? Fact is, Rudy has a track record of success, and HRC's only real attempt at POLICY-MAKING was a debacle. Now she can only sell herself by telling us how much she CARES. Noonan shows us that Hillary is unfit for the office she seeks. Let's hope the people of New York see behind the facade and help HRC "just go away."

Summary: A Case Against Hillary Clinton
Review: Peggy Noonan demonstrates her great talent and superb writing style. But good writing does not validate her case against Mrs. Clinton. On the contrary, this book is quite transparent in regards to the political agenda Mrs. Noonan is attempting to further. Mrs. Noonan miserably fails to provide the reader with an accurate account of Mrs. Clinton abilities and achievements in the public arena. This book is full of hate and driven by paranoia about an uncertain future.

Summary: A must read for all democrats
Review: As a democrat who entusiastically voted for Bill Clinton the first time, and with slight hesitation the second time, I consider this book to be, among others, a must-read. Ms. Noonan has presented her argument cogently. Much as it saddens me to say, this book echoes the view of Hillary Clinton I slowly came to admit to myself with reluctance over the course of 8 years. If you find yourself with misgivings concerning the nature of the Clintons, read this book. Finally, in the end, we'll all have to face the true nature of these people, I suppose. Books like Ms. Noonan's are the first stage of the healing process.

Summary: Noonan Nooner
Review: This book, written with gusto by a creative phoney, is the latest of a long, never-ending list of books by those tiresome, monotonous Clinton Haters whose incomes seem to be dependant on the misfortunes of others. She tells us absolutely nothing that we did not know, except of course, details of the "imaginary events" she THINKS may have occurred. "BOO! Hillary's gonna getcha!" Her tone is snide, and her words are heavily dipped in the leftover aura of her obsessive love affair with the Reagans and the Bushes who probably put her up to this. I borrowed this book. Otherwise, I'd be asking for a refund.

Summary: About Time...
Review: This book is not a biographical tract but a personal statement on Hillary Clinton. Way to go Ms. Noonan, you have put to words what I have thought all along! Noonan cuts to the core of her argument with a caustic wit and great flare. Modern liberals and other dupes of the Clintons' truth-spinning vortex will whine that there's "nothing new here" (hmm... there's alot written about gravity but that sure doesn't invalidate the theory... funny no one in the mainstream media gets tired of talk about vast right wing conspiracies...)and the author is yet another "Clinton hater..." but they never seem to get around to making a persuasive argument defending these people other than 'they haven't been proven guilty'. It stirs the passions to know that leadership in the new millenium can now be summed up as "indicted yes... but no convictions!" If you're looking for a dull biography complete with timelines and old family pictures move on but if you've been suspect of the Clintons you'll find this a great read and if you're Clinton fan then I'm sure you'll be able to easily refute the author's arguments (but given the unfavorable reviews that I've read I personally won't hold my breath).

Summary: Consumed with hatred
Review: I learned nothing new about Hillary Clinton. Noonan has included lots of far out unproven allegations she has lifted from Rupert Murdoch's New York Post. She wants us to accept them as fact. She has also put words in Mrs Clinton's mouth in the form of imaginary conversations. Peggy Noonan has invented conversations to prove Mrs Clinton is evil. What does that say about Peggy Noonan? She also has utter contempt for voters for not following her "wisdom". This book is not about Hillary Clinton. It is about Peggy Noonan. She comes across as another Marie Antoinette.

Summary: A THOUGHTFUL, CAREFULLY-CONSIDERED CRITIQUE
Review: Peggy Noonan reviews Mrs. Clinton's track record, and finds it wanting. She focuses on character, but also considers vision, competance, and ideology. She contrasts the spin with the reality, and asks the basic question: For whose benefit is Mrs. Clinton serving? The nation's? The disadvantaged? Her husbands? Or, her own?

Summary: I'd have given the book no stars, but that's not an option
Review: The ability to write is a great gift and no one can deny that Ms. Noonan has a gift. Having said that, I found her gift used to trash someone for whom she has only contempt (I'll take her word that she does not hate Mrs. Clinton). Does this book bring anything new to the discussion? No. Does the book bring any insight? No. This book is a screed, full of sanctimony and condescension. I also find her use of imaginary conversations and thoughts disingenuous; is this not the writer who condemned Edmond Morris for the practice? Ms. Noonan is just another of those blinded by partisanship and/or hate for anything Clinton. My advice--grow up.
