Sympathetic spoof diary of our 42nd president in retirement

Initial disclaimer: This copy was sent to me by the author asking for a review. Now my book buying appetite is larger than my book digestion, but I was interested enough to not just throw this book into a corner and ignore it. The book is purportedly a one year "Journal" at the realease of Bill's book, which covers the start of his book tour, Bill's heart surgery, and the Indonesian relief work that he did. It describes -- from a fictional point of view -- the ex-President's actions, thoughts, feelings and fears from mostly a first person perspective. It also touches on his relationships with his wife and daughter. I *expected* a slapstick/satire mostly at Bill Clinton's expense. I was surprised that it was not. While the book had some wry humor it was in the style of an actual diary and if you suspended your disbelief somewhat, it *could* almost have been Bill's diary (though it is far more honest than any contemporary autobiographical book would be these days). I'm nowhere near a Clinton fan (though I hope I'm not a hater) and think that anyone's personal opinion of Bill Clinton shouldn't affect the enjoyment of this book -- which is actually quite touching.

Dear diary...

The author of this book sent me a copy and asked me to review it. It is a fictional diary by Bill Clinton about his book tour in support of his autobiography. The author actually does a good job of capturing Clinton's personality. Bill comes across as a sensitive, compassionate person who gets his feelings hurt easily. The book is mostly serious, but it does have humorous moments, like when Bill plays pranks on Chelsea's boyfriend (that he doesn't like). I'm not really sure why someone would write a fictional diary of Bill Clinton, but I did enjoy it.

Delightful Political Farce

I looked at the cover of this book and thought not more Clinton, boy was I wrong. I guess I never thought about what life after the presidency would be like for this disgraced president, but I have to say after reading this I have alot of sympathy for Mr. Clinton. This first page caught my attention and I could not put it down. It may be someone else's thoughts about what he was thinking but it is so close to what he probably was thinking in some parts. There is a great deal of humor and tongue in cheek, but some of the political thoughts are right on target. The interaction with Hillary, Chelsea, Chelsea's boyfriend, fast food, ex-presidents, his assistant are just laugh out loud good. But the dealings with his brother Roger had me rolling on the floor. I think it may even change the way you percieve this president. I loved it and I am sure even Mr. Clinton may be amused.
