USER REVIEWS

Oh, gosh, please let me know when you are going to write a 20 page fantasy beforehand!
~ Written on Sep 23, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

Pages 75-93 include Peggy Noonan's fantasy of a meeting between Hillary Clinton and big names in entertainment, Ted Turner, Michale Eisner, David Geffen, etc. And the set up is very believable. She is not invited but happens to be there because she is a good friend of the housekeeper... and it is written like it is real. There is no warning. And the reader is stunned at what is going on. On page 93, "... I awoke... it had all been a dream." Yeah. Don't do that.

You know, Peggy Noonan sometimes hits the nail on the head, puts intangibles into words and I am grateful for that when it happens. But her fantasy stuff is a violation. Actually, she does this fantasy thing a couple more times in the book, "telling" us what could be said at Hillary's gravesite between two real people, "telling" us what Hillary is hinking. Really? Isn't that awfully, ah, presumptuous?

You got a case, you got a point, build it on fact. Please. Life is short. Don't really want to know allllllllll the stuff going on in your head.

I'm not fan of the Clintons but I am less a fan of deliberate misrepresentation. This kind of writing would seem to be beneath Ms. Noonan, but now I wonder.

Biased. Should have been a pamphlet
~ Written on Aug 5, 2008. out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I want to start by pointing out that I DO NOT LIKE HILLARY CLINTON. She is an arrogant bigot and a LIAR.

However, Peggy Noonan is doing her a favor by writing a book where while trashing her, she offers little evidence in the sense of footnotes and very few references. Definitely not even close to a scholarly work.
What makes it worse is that some chapters are total fantasy, like the one where Clinton gave a speech to the film and television magnates - a speech she never gave because the entire chapter was a "dream" of the writer, as confessed by her at the end.

Although I agree with Peggy in certain points regarding the Clintons, her gossip tabloid style takes any seriousness away and makes me feel like I am reading pure slander (Once again, I agree with her main points). This could have been so much better and could have included so much more other than fiction and lack of evidence; The useful information fits in a single page fold-out.

This is by no means a reference work nor an entertaining piece to be taken seriously.

You can find a lot more useful and interesting information about the Clintons by going to the PRAVDA.RU newspaper website and doing a search on them.
This is one of their articles;

Hillary Clinton: five facts you never knew about her
06.02.2008

1. In 1969, after Hillary Diane Rodham graduated with departmental honors in political science, she worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions).


2. It took Bill Clinton 4 years to make Hilary become his wife. They started dating in 1971. Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton were married on October 11, 1975, in a Methodist ceremony in their living room

3. Bill Clinton returned to the Governor's office in1982. Only then Hillary Diane Rodham began to use the name Hillary Clinton, or sometimes "Mrs. Bill Clinton", in order to have greater appeal to voters.

4. From 1986 to 1992 Hillary Clinton was enjoying six-year tenure as a director of Wal-Mart, the nation's largest company.Fellow board members and company executives say Mrs. Clinton used her position to champion personal causes, like the need for more women in management and a comprehensive environmental program.

5. Hillary Clinton became involved into a scandal about having a lesbian affair with her personal aide Huma Abedin. A new book by Edward Klein, `The Truth About Hillary' is said to make some claims about Hillary Clinton having lesbian relationships.

Richard Giberti reviews Peggy Noonan's book
~ Written on Feb 20, 2008. 2 out of 2 users found this review helpful.

Peggy Noonan's book is a contradiction of many sorts; starting from the cover, which depicts a poised, actually attractive photo of Hillary Clinton - which is contrasted with her scathing rebuke of a former First Lady that was anything but poised, and very much out of control. I think there may be some symbolism involved in the choice of the Chairman Mao jacket, as it may imply the years of pandering that the Clinton's did with Red China.

Her style of writing was concise, and though other reviewers discounted her use of inner dialogue and fictional speeches, I felt that her understanding of Ms. Clinton was such, that at times I actually thought that I was listening to the inner thoughts or Hillary or reading a never-published speech that would have made Hillary an amazing political figure and a noble person.

Her insights were very helpful in researching a chapter for my recent book on amazing contemporary prophecies America, You Will Be Destroyed !: Thus Saith The Lord - and Other Amazing Prophecies.

Well done, Peggy.

I was undecided on Hillary........
~ Written on Jan 16, 2008. 3 out of 10 users found this review helpful.

The only thing THIS BOOK helped me decide is that Peggy Noonan is a very POOR writer and that she obviously has a jealous RAGE in regard to Hillary Clinton. Too bad she didn't use many FACTS but turned it into a strange diatribe about Hillary's clothing, gestures, and even went so far as to project 'WHAT SHE WAS THINKING' at key moments. If I were Hillary I'd get an order of protection to keep this nut at bay. I'll look elsewhere for a FACTUAL book written by a stable individual to help me make my mind up on Hillary. Save you money on this one unless you want a good laugh.

Mrs. Clinton's Character?
~ Written on Jun 10, 2007. 4 out of 7 users found this review helpful.

This is a very short polemic on the character of the former first lady by Reagan speechwriter and author of "What I saw at the revolution" and other works. In this book the writer is alleging that Senator Clinton feels entitled to power, Noonan summarizes her involvement in a number of scandals. So many scandals and a good teflon suit. This book shows once again, as many other do, that Hillary cares about only one thing, Hillary. As with any book about Hillary Clinton, this book conatians some strong language. And is a fast read, so spend an afternoon and read it.
