Customer Review: I am a biography fan and a history buff. The American Lion was written in the style of a gossip column. The author elevated Jackson's social life and the interaction of Jackson's associates, family and friends to a level of importance rendering the book unreadable.

Customer Review: Surprisingly well written personal history...not always a page-turner, but Obama
gives real and honest insight about the very specific emotions of growing up
the way he did. As such, it really reveals the kind of man he is...and the point
view he's likely to bring to the... more info
Customer Review: Seller: Product was in excellent condition, arrived quickly; great price.
Book: Amazing that with everything else he has to do, he produced such a clear, well-written, thoughtful description of his life and philosophies. (I'm sure it's not ghost-written, not with his name on it.) I'm not... more info
Customer Review: Whether this book is historically accurate or a wonderful fiction does not matter - it should be read by all politicians and potential leaders. The traits of the reported Lincoln are inspiring. Patient, humorous, humble and wise beyond mere intelligence Lincoln could have read all of the literature... more info
Customer Review: Enjoyed this book greatly. Also have read the shorter Buffet bio by Roger Lowenstein (sp?) and that is also good. This book however really allowed me to see how Buffet works and views the world. Recommend.

Customer Review: After reading this book I was deeply saddened that Ron Paul's campaign was not taken more seriously than it was. His plans and ideas for this country are so far removed from the "pop culture" political climate that dominates American politics today. After reading this book I realized that this... more info

Customer Review: As the old song goes, being "rich as Rockefeller" does one no good, except perhaps if one of the Rockefeller clan happens to be a personal friend....and then it can really make a difference between life and death. That's part of what happened to the doyenne of one of America's premier families,... more info
