Why Not the Best?

Rating:
Summary: Why not?
Review: Last year I got to see former American President Jimmy Carter deliver a speech at my school. I didn't see someone larger than life. What I did see was an honest, good-hearted man dedicated to service. I later found an old used copy of this book and picked it up. I voraciously read it and although this book revealed a younger, pre-presidential Carter, the same optimistic attitudes of the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner are clearly evident in this writing. "Why Not the Best?" is simple, clear, and warm - like listening to a story told by your grandfather. The book is loaded with nostalgia and unique insight into Carter's personal convictions. I know that President Carter has written over twenty books, and this is the only one that I've read. Nevertheless I recommend this autobiography if you are at all interested in this man of honor; don't disregard "Why Not the Best?" simply because its an older book.
