Reflections: Life After the White House

Rating:
Summary: Tedious and self-effacing
Review: If this woman were not an ex pres. wife this book would have remained in the "do not consider" pile on the floor of any publishing company. It is boring, poorly written and filled with ludicrous stories that are self-effacing. An embarrassment.

Summary: DONOT TOUCH THE BOOK
Review: IF you bought Reflections don't bother buying a travel book for your next vacation just read Barbara Bush's Reflections. Even President Bush doesn't travel that much. Mrs. Bush talks about volunterism and giving money, I wonder how much she gives money wise at all those functions she goes to. Anyone could go and say a few funny things but the real thing is MONEY GIVING that counts to all this charties she goes to . Better to not buy the book and give the money to a charity. Her first book was a four star but this one should never went to press.

Review: It is HILARIOUS to see all the idiot liberal liar demoRATS think that they are better than PRESIDENT (HERO) BUSH!! GUESS WHAT?? He is the president and AL SORE LOSERMAN GORE IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS A LIAR AND A TRAITER. Americans support PRESIDENT BUSH becasue he is a good CHRISTIAN.

Summary: A Place In History
Review: Mrs. Bush is an incredible woman who has earned a place in American History. Her writings remind us of what makes this country great. A love of Family and Friends and Home and Country. We all need real examples to be set for us in this crazy day dangerous day in which we live and I am thankful for the incredible life of service to America as well as this needed example that has been set by the Bush Family. I am a better American because of George and Barbara Bush. May God continue to Bless this Family and America. BUY this BOOK!

Summary: The nut doesn't fall far from the "Bush"!
Review: OK, I received this book as a joke gift. However, I did struggle through it and OH what a joke it is! I must say this is a classic example of just how out of touch with reality the Bush family is. I can certainly see where George jr. gets it. This book sheds even more light on just why George W. Bush and Jeb Bush have been such incredible failures as parents. You know, the nut doesn't fall far from the tree or the "Bush" in this case. My message to the entire Bush family...Wake up and smell the coffee (it might help if you pull those silver spoons out of your mouths first)!

Summary: Hard Read
Review: Received this book for Christmas. It was one of the most boring books I have ever read!! Paragraphs were not completed. Little continuity and no really interesting tidbits coming from a former first lady. Hard to believe she has traveled as much as she says she has - would like to know who pays for all her travel. Also found it interesting that they spend most of their holidays with son Neil and now ex-wife Sharon(because they lived near by.) Sharon said Neil had been cheating on her for sometime, yet Barbara acts like they are all one big happy family. Also thought it was interesting she never mentioned Jeb's daughter Nicole's serious drug problems and the drinking problems of the Bush twins. Perhaps if she had written her book telling how her family has gotten thru the tough times, it would have been more inspirational.Instead she writes like they are the most perfect family ever, and we all know better.

Summary: Missing a lot of info
Review: She seems to describe her family as the "best in the country," yet leaves out pertinent information. Such as son Neil bilking the American taxpayers out of $1+ billion with the Silverado S&L scandal of 1990. Or how about George's AWOl status and past drug use? Or daughter-in-law Laura's teenage murder of her ex-boyfriend? Columba's smuggling escapades, P.'s stalking his ex-girlfriend, the Twins' drink binges? C'mon Bar, don't leave out the good stuff.

Summary: Witty & Interesting from a Facinating Woman
Review: Slanted, just as she states it would be and I loved it. How refreshing to read a book of a wife who adores her husband. How nice for a mother to share with readers tidbits about her children with such respect and wit. And how interesting and often humorous it was to read the author's comments about herself. On several occasions throughout this book it was a "laugh out loud" moment for me. I completely enjoyed her reflections and highly recommend it to others, especially wives and moms.

Rating:
Summary: Do not read
Review: Terrible writing - no human being can travel as much as she said she does - really did a bad job on Al Gore. Every mother thinks her son is the best but not to this degree in public. Paragraphs weren't finished on any one topic. Loved her lst book and really looked forward to reading this one. I am surprised that she didn't put in the amt. of money she made on each appearance. Really wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Refreshing!!
Review: Thank you Mrs. Bush! It is so refreshing to read a book that is scandal free and that isn't laced with bitterness towards anyone. Quite the contrary, Mrs. Bush sees the best in people...a theme that should be embraced by all of us! Anyone who finds good, old fashioned values and morals threatening, stay away from this book!
