Customer Rating:      Summary: Scott McClellan - What Happened Comment: This is a good book. Its not always an easy read (it can be tedious at points) but I'd say it was well worth reading, to get the inside scoop
I think Scott is kinder to Bush than he deserves, considering the facts laid out in the recent Bugliosi book The Prosecution of George W Bush For Murder
Customer Rating:      Summary: What Happened Review Comment:
Very informative,well written,even enlightening ;but, just not that entertaining. I didn't have any trouble putting the book down and was almost relieved when I finished the book.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent purchase Comment: Excellent purchase price for this book which arrived in a very timely manner. It was purchased as a gift for my son.
Customer Rating:      Summary: eye opening Comment: I'm no fan of the Bush White House so I jumped on the chance to read this memoir of McClellan's time with the administration. It's eye opening, though not that surprising. The things those people will do. And it is written, no surprise here either, in a very clear and entertaining matter. A must for anyone who thinks they are a Republican or any one interested in current affairs.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A good attempt Comment: This book was well-written and thoughtful. It helped me to see President Bush in a new light. Mr. McClellan makes an excellent point about the "permanent campaign" and it's toxic divisiveness.
However, I found this book disappointing in some ways. While I don't doubt his sincerity, the author stops short of explaining the motivations and actions of the more controversial GOP policies. It's as though, after a lifetime in politics, he's honestly incapable of being completely sincere and apolitical.
