Summary: masterful
Review: ANY book written by Peggy Noonan is well worth reading. I've read them all and find her to be a thoughful, insightful wordsmith. In her latest book, she presents a concise, compelling argument for why HRC -- and Clintonism -- should be permanently retired from public life. One can only hope (pray! ) that New Yorkers are paying attention.

Summary: When all else fails...
Review: When all else fails, incriminate the messenger. Another legacy of the Clinton Administration.

Summary: Half price book for half price
Review: While Peggy Noonan does a good job of telling us what the Clinton's are up to and how awful Hillary is, she goes off into a couple of raves that make about as much sense as voting for a Clinton. First she fantasizes about what Hillary ought to have done as First Lady. Makes you glad that Peggy Noonan never had the opportunity. Next she muddles through a never ending description of boring people that Hillary is not like. Who cares?

Summary: Facts, Unfortunately
Review: Most of what Noonan writes is not new information--but it is a good compilation of what has transpired in Hillary's public life. The book is well-written, yet an easy read.
Rating:
Summary: A MUST-read!
Review: Phenomenally written by a very reputable source, this book gives you an insight into the danger of giving Hillary Clinton more power.This is not a biased, Right-wing hack job. Noonan merely suggests that there are better liberals out there than Ms. Clinton. Send this book to all of your friends & family!

Summary: Powerful
Review: Noonan admits that this is a polemic. But it is rational and eloquent, not rabid. She believes that the Clintons's essential selfishness makes it dangerous for them to wield power. She offers no new revelations but takes the facts already on the record and asks us to see the pattern they make. She demonstrates that opposition to the Clintons does not have to be irrational but can be fact-based and coherent. Unlike many anti-Clinton books, Noonan's case does not depend on wild allegations, shadowy conspiracies, or strident rhetoric. One can disagree with her conclusions but they cannot be easily dismissed.

Summary: The Case Against Hillary Clinton
Review: Peggy Noonan brings her considerable writing skills to this book. It is well written, easy to get through and thoughtful. It would have made a more powerful impact, nonetheless, if she had woven in more facts from the vast body of information about the Clintons. Her improvised sidebar in chapter five was a wonderful flight of fantasy. Importantly, in the end, the book makes its point very well.

Summary: An Interesting Read About Bill's First Lady
Review: I found this book by the former Reagan White House speechwriter interesting. She does after all have a better picture of what goes on behind closed White House doors than the rest of us. Peggy emphasizes how power hungry the Clintons are and the driving forces behind them. Ms. Noonan questions Hillary's ability to lead, and if she does in fact have leadership qualities, why she has accomplished so little during her tenure in the White House. Peggy leads the reader to think that the New York Senate race is just the first step to bigger and better positions. It provided me with food for thought and enouraged me to look further into this political figure that will be with us for some time. I found this book interesting, enjoyable, and well worth reading.
Rating:
Summary: Evenhanded and fair
Review: I found Peggy's book very evenhanded. I liked that she spoke of democrats that she does respect and gave good, solid, irrefutable reasons why Hillary would not be a good leader. I'm a democrat, but there's no way I'll vote for her now.

Summary: "The Case" Wouldn't Pass as a College Research Paper
Review: Instead of building a case against the First Lady in "The Case Against Hillary Clinton," Noonan provides a stale rehashing of well-known information. The author make general claims about Mrs. Clinton, such as "[h]er boots are made for walking, and they'll walk all over you," without providing specifics about Mrs. Clinton's merits. Noonan fails to convince the reader that she knows more about Hillary Clinton than Americans who follow the evening news. While there is much to criticize about the Clintons, Noonan does a shoddy job in terms of providing useful information for thoughtful readers. Another point of frustration for thoughtful readers who might venture to read "The Case" is what passes for "evidence" in this book. One notable example is Noonan's claim that the Clinton's both suffer from clinical narcissism. Using information supplied by an former friend of the Clintons who cites a medical text, Noonan writes ". . . this clinical description, coming from a thoughtful associated of many years, seemed both believable and somewhat chilling." Noonan's assessment, based on information from a layperson on the subject of mental health, is representative of what passes as "fact" in "The Case Against Hillary Clinton." Several thoughtful books critical of Hillary Clinton have come out in the past year, and Noonan frequently pulls information from these texts. This "borrowing," dedicating an entire chapter to a hypothetical scenario of Mrs. Clinton "being truly serious, truly earnest. . .", and the absence of "new" information suggests that the research for "The Case" was minimal. This book is not Noonan's best, and is not a suggested read. If this book were a college essay, it would fail for its lack of focus, failing to substantiate claims with even the most minimal evidence, and a stark absence of commas in appropriate places. Voters in New York would be better served by following the news and drawing their own conclusions about Hillary Clinton's merits.
