Summary: George W. Bush, what a piece of work
Review: "During my time at Yale I joined the Skull & Bones, a society so secret I can't mention anything else about it" What does that mean? Is the "leader" of the world's greatest democracy beholden to unseen masters of a necrophiliac cult? It's obvious the guy is an empty suit and it's obvious someone else ghost wrote this book for a man who clearly would have been consigned to special ed were it not for his name. But whose tool is W? How did they steal the election in Florida? Isn't it obvious that they planned this war before the election?

Summary: At Least You Get it from the Source...
Review: I am also a huge "Dubya" fan but couldn't really find anything extra-special about this short piece. The work was only nice for a very brief look at George W.'s life highlights and for a glance into some of W.'s accomplishments while he was Governor of Texas, in his own words. If you are looking for something more educational regarding the 43rd President, I would look elsewhere. Like one other commentator noted, this book was a campaigning tool (and I don't mean in a phony sense) that gave voters something to read to give one a feel for Dubya and the way he thinks. It served that purpose, and insofar as pure reading entertainment goes, one could easily make a better choice within this topic area.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I loved this book. I found it interesting and informative. I did not expect it to be a "tell all". He was interested in getting his convictions out to the public, not his personal life. What I saw through this book was an honest, caring, upright, conservative man. I loved that he was willing to say that he did not "ride the polls" because polls change every day but that what is right NEVER changes. I was already very favorably impressed by him and this book cemented my opinion of him. I will always support him all the way.

Summary: Typical Campaign Biography
Review: As a huge George W. Bush fan, I was anxiously looking forward to reading his book. I couldn't have been more disappointed. This book is as one sided as they come. It is your typical campaign biography. It tells little of George W. Bush's low points or his failures. It pawns him off as a near perfect businessman, politician, family man, and person. It is unrealistic and it is hard to take the substance (what his views are) seriously because of this. If you are looking for a informative book about Bush, this is not the one. It will give you only the good parts of our President.

Summary: A person's autobiography is usually written by... ?
Review: I can see why this was released five months behind schedule. I now understand that one reason for the delay was that Bush canned the original author and put Karen Hughes in charge. The London Sunday Telegraph reported that Bush's people didn't want him "dealing in any way with the issues, or the specifics on the issues," but the original ghostwriter did. Once Hughes took over the manuscript, accuracy seems to have gone out the window. "Bush" "writes" about his National Guard days, talking about,''the thrills of his pilot training, which he completed in June 1970". Then he goes on to say, "I continued flying with my unit for the next several years''. As a reader, I don't appreciate being lied to. Copies of Bush's military records, obtained by the Boston Globe revealed that in his final 18 months of military service in 1972 and 1973, Bush did not fly at all. And for much of that time, Bush was totally unaccounted for. As for the mismatched styles of Hughe's and the original ghostwriter, I think American University history professor Allan Lichtman said it best: "I wouldn't accept this type of material from a freshman." All in all, this book is no better than the comics books printed by dictators to justify their ascension to power. File it under "F" for fiction.

Summary: Best Autobiography I've Read!
Review: This is the best autobiography from George Bush I've ever read. It clearly shows Bush's side of his struggles with Alchoholism, Cocaine abuse and Business failure. His surprisingly fresh sense of humor neatly balances his harrowing accounts of the action and bloodshed in Vietnam that he witnessed on T.V. while safe at home in the National Gaurd where he trained to fly out-moded jets. George is a hero for our age. Who better to represent our country in it's declinig years than an illegitimate "president" with a third-graders grasp of our world. God DOES have a sense of humor.

Summary: You will not be able to put this down
Review: If I had the choice I would only read books on presidents. So, as you can imagine I have read a lot of books on them. I found Mr. Bush's book exellent! He is a very interesting writer and has a great since of humor! He gave a very clear view of who he is and what he believes. I not only found it refreshing but fun to read!!

Summary: An Underestimated Gentleman
Review: Despite what left wing liberals would have you believe, George W. Bush is very competent. Many have underestimated him. I will describe this book as being refreshing, sincere, and inspiring. In a time when you feel you can't trust anyone in the government because of the Clinton era, you can trust George W. Bush. He is the genuine family man. I thank God in many of my prayers that character, decency, and pride are back in the White House. This book reveals the tender hearted, but firm and strong George W. Bush. Even if you disagree with his politics this book will explain why things like family, God, the Bible, and patriotism are important to him.

Summary: Interesting, Enlightening, Inspiring
Review: I read this book before I decided just which candidate to vote for, being an "independent" politically. This book helped to sway me to vote for G.W. Bush. He is straight-forward, honest, decisive, with a deep sense of our country's heritage and a style of leadership our nation has needed. His entire life he has lived with a solid sense of true values, even during his far-overplayed "troubled years". His very broad life experiences have enabled him to relate to the "ordinary American" & international citizen as well, in spite of his priviledged beginnings. He has lived in poverty along with the wealth, dealt with failure as well as great success, overcome alcoholism with a stoic resolve, reached out to many with a true caring & compassion & charisma. He doesn't have to fake emotions because he feels them to the core of his being and he would never lead by polls or compromise of what is the correct action as he perceives it. His education at Harvard (MBA) gives him a unique perspective on management and a valuable skill that he combines with his many other past endeavors & impressive qualities. I finished this book deeply impressed with a quite sensitive, brilliant, versatile man with tremendous honor and a grasp of our history and needs as a nation.
