Summary of this Book... | ||
This is George Bush's view of his life's most critical decisions while President and beforehand. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
anyone who is interested in historical writing and getting more than one side of the story. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
his honesty about when things didn't go so well. He seems to be a pretty straight shooter. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
his matter of fact way of explaining the whole Katrina situation and the economic collapse. I felt that neither one of these things touched him in any personal way. There is a detachment that I found most disconcerting. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
trade it in. I got it at a used book place in trade and it is not one that I will read or consult again. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
like I respect Mr. Bush and his reasoning, but I find his emotional detachment (particularly with Katrina and on 9/11) a little bit off-putting. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
knows how to make an effective and sometimes convincing point. Even when I do not agree with him, I respect him. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
it is a historical perspective that will help the reader to find out what happened from 2000-2008 from the decision maker's point of view. It isn't great, but it is pretty good for a politician. | ||
