Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar
I was really
hoping I'd like this better. I do not necessarily think that it was
because I am not a political person - like to say the main reason I'm an
independent is because I hate both parties equally
- but this just got tiresome pretty quick. More or less the Presidents
Club is composed of all the surviving former ones at the time the newest
is in office. It was brought into its current incarnation after Truman
and so the book covers him on up in detail.
Some things just seemed rushed, like a few major situations with
Kennedy, and they kept going time and again to others. Not to speak ill
of the dead, but a lot of this is Nixon and he comes across even more so
than usual as a total nutball. He runs off to do
this or that, shoots his mouth off, from how it sounds here the Secret
Service should've implanted a tracker in the guy. Granted that is
probably how he was in some ways really but when a lot of the book is
the Tricky Dicky show it rather defeats the purpose
of tuning in for the other stars.
