Summary: Worthless
Review: I simply cannot say enough horrible things about this book. There are no words to describe how truly awful it is.

Summary: Hilarious parody
Review: This book is a hysterical satire on all those insane conservative "pundits" who have ruled talk radio for so long, full of intentionally dubious journalism (i.e. outlandish lies) and crackpot digressions so lacking in logic or insight that one can hardly keep from laughing.
The "author" pretends to have a nearly pathological hatred not just for Clinton (who is here called a rapist repeatedly, in one of the book's better running jokes) but ALL liberals, whom she seems to regard as the primary force of evil on Earth.
Amazingly funny! But don't buy it, just read it in the bookstore (it only takes about 30 minutes) cause all proceeds from the selling of this book secretly go to the ACLU.
At least I ASSUME it's a joke.

Summary: Who cares now?
Review: All of this stuff doesn't really matter anymore. I wonder why I decided to pick up this book in the first place.... Coulter is looking for someone to blame, and being conservative she found Clinton to be a shining target. The book goes on and on about moral issues - expecting people to understand the built in shame of the author as if everyone is so afraid of life. I would advise the avoidance of this book just because it is so restrictive to living life. By writing this book Coulter hurts those who she thinks she is supporting, it's just a book for money making that damages the pockets and brains of us conservatives.

Summary: Too much leaning
Review: While making convincing arguments in her book about how Bill Clinton should have been held accountable for his wrongdoing, she let too much of her own conservative prejudice show in this book. While making her point, she seemed to be defending Richard Nixon and I felt she was trying to be an advocate in his defense. It would have been more convincing if she had spent her time simply laying out the case against Clinton and left it at that. After all, her book did say it was the case against Bill Clinton.
I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I kept thinking it would get better, but it didn't. I tried to get through the entire book and did a pretty good job. I had to quit at Chapter 18; Wampumgate. Her writing sytle is too much like her talking style - going off on tangents and making side comments referencing to other parts of the book. It all go too confusing and seemed to ramble at times. I will not be buying any more Ann Coulter books and I pity anyone who does.

Summary: Presents Numerous Examples of Questionable Behavior
Review: Like him or hate him, one must admit that Fmr. President Clinton was involved in countless suspicious activities, from female companions to shady money deals and absurd appointments and more, Coulter makes a case that Clinton might be more of a criminal than a leader.

Summary: awful
Review: This book is sham of unresearched hash. consertive or not Ann Coulter should be ashamed.

Summary: Good and bad
Review: I'll keep it short, there are enough reviews already:
Good - bashes Billy Boy. Bad - Coulter whines worst than my 3 year old. My advice? Skip this and just listen to Rush. Coulter doesn't have anything new to say, and she is so annoying that you wouldn't want to read her if she did. Can we give her to the liberals?

Summary: "Kiss It"
Review: "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" are grounds, per Article II of our Constitution, that provide for the impeachment of civil officers of the government. In this age of moral relativism where "truth is lies", Ann Coulter gives a much-needed background to the historical meaning of these words, from the days of the British monarchy where they originated, through their inclusion by the Founding Fathers, to the day when they were used to frame articles of impeachment against President Nixon. The bulk of the book is dedicated to applying this standard to the catalog of misbehavior of the Clinton Administration. Written as it was when the question of removal from office was still open, the book has a passionate tone which in hindsight feels somewhat futile now that we know Congress was unable to live up to its responsiblity. Nonetheless, that tone demonstrates a certain credibility of someone who cares deeply about our government and the presidency.
And on reading this book, one cannot but feel saddened to realize how low the stature of the Presidency has sunk under that administration. Barely palatable even when spread out over its full eight years, the sheer volume of muck concentrated in one volume is almost too much to swallow. Bill Clinton abused his positions as governor and president to procure and then pay off women at taxpayer's expense, and to cover it up lied countless times, perjured himself under oath, and suborned perjury of others. But all that is only the beginning.
In Travelgate, the White House travel office staff was fired at the behest of Mrs Clinton so that she could fill those "slots" with "her people". Filegate had nine hundred FBI background files on Republican officials illegally in the possession of the White House. During Fostergate, White House officials obstructed an FBI investigation into the suicide of White House counsel Vincent Foster. In the Whitewater affair, taxpayers were defrauded of millions of dollars while the White House obstructed the investigation every step of the way and paid off the silence of indicted counsel. The White House was rented off like a common bed-and-breakfast and coffee house. The Clinton Administration used IRS audits as an instrument of threat and vengeance on its enemies. Perhaps worst of all, in what comes horrifyingly close to treason, the Administration permitted the release of CIA briefings and classified missile technology to China in return for staggering campaign contributions.
Since the book was written while Mr Clinton was still in office, it does not even mention the later scandals that plagued the last years of that administration, such as the eleventh-hour pardoning of fugitives and felons who made large contributions to the Democratic Party in Pardongate.
It is hard to say whether it is worse that this person served as our president, or his apologists' astounding insistence that the perfidy of his presidency somehow doesn't matter. It wasn't always like this. The Rodino report, which laid down the reasoning for proceedings against President Nixon, noted that "the scope of impeachment was not viewed narrowly" as a purely criminal matter but also considered maintaining the prestige and respect of the office. Fascinatingly, party to the Rodino hearings was none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Ann Coulter is a knowledgeable, deliciously sharp, and unquestionably intelligent writer-- I would recommend any of her books, as well as the syndicated column which appears also on her Web site. High Crimes and Misdemeanors is well researched and annotated, and leaves me asking rhetorically about those eight dark years: what in the world were we thinking?

Summary: Full of hypocrisy, lacking intelligence
Review: What immediately becomes clear is that Coultier hates Bill Clinton on a personal level, and that, more than anything else, is what this book is about. She also turns a blind eye toward recent Republican presidents. Bush I was a documented adulterer. Bush II has more crimes on public record than they were ever able to find through years of looking into Whitewater, and would probably have spent time in prison if he were not so well connected. Reagan and Bush I committed far worse crimes against the constitution during Iran Contra and elsewhere. This book is completely unimportant when it comes to any kind of scholarship or even basic intelligence. The only reason it is important is that thousands of working class people read this stuff and then vote for Republican millionaires who disdain and exploit them. It's pathetic and sad.

Summary: Let me Tell You How Bad This Book Is...
Review: I've seen parrots reject pages from this woman's book as cage lining. Ann Coulter's writing style is mediocrity personified. She says nothing that you wouldn't already know if you picked up a newspaper. There are better uses for paper than this.
