My Life

Well, not my life, but the book by Bill Clinton.

It is a fascinating, entertaining, and frustrating read. This dude can tell a story, and can screw one up, too.

He needed an editor who would actually edit. Unlike a lot of reviewers who have said this, I don't mean that the book is too long or that there is too much about his experiences running for office in or governing Arkansas, etc. What bothers me (I'm about halfway through) is that the book is full of wonderful little vignettes that he then spoils by saying "and that's why I always supported programs for hiring blind school crossing guards."

Despite the pendantic asides that make me want to throw the book at the wall, it is an enjoyable read. Good stories, with a beat you can dance to. I'd give it an 8.
