Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton (2003, Hardcover)

There's no doubt there was a "vast right-wing Conspiracy" to impeach her husband. But long before she wrote about it in her memoir, she did tell the public through the media. Too few people listened to her and voted for Bush instead. Then the "vast right-wing" which is not so vast as it would pretend to be, took the US down while it sunk to its lowest morality level that was ever made plainly public.

I could say this is a lovely memoir by an 8 year, two term first lady. But Hillary was too active a politician to simply be called a first lady. It's obvious from her memoir Hillary Rodham Clinton was probably the first successful woman co-President of the US. US white men literally hate white women who are truly powerful and empowering of minority statused people. This is one of the underlying messages in Hillary's memoir.

From her childhood in Chicago to her Harvard leadership, Hillary is candidly revealing her feelings.

Even when she explains why she wanted to "wring Bill's neck," her dignity and political integrity shine brightly through the second term Senator's 562 page text. Often critiqued as a campaign book, I couldn't disagree with that assessment more.

The plot is clearly to tell her living history as it was up to 2000. I can hardly wait for part 2. I have a feeling her best is yet to come because I bet Hillary will make Bill the first First Man in the White House!

Hillary Rodham Clinton describes her childhood, meeting Clinton, her early marriage, right up to his affair in the oval office and why she stayed with him. It should be required reading for all voters before 2008 election day.

I would definitely give it 5 thumbs up! She is an excellent writer, an even better politician, and an American who cares about America and other Americans. She makes this clear from what she writes. It is hard to mistake her caring, her desire to do what is right for all of us.

Like an earlier reviewer states, I can hardly wait for Part 2!

I bought this book because I wanted to find out more about Hillary - how she got to be such a powerful and influential woman. This book is written from the first-person perspective, and starts from her early years into her years in the public eye. The bulk of the book is her life in the public eye, as appropriate, as she has been in the spotlight almost since the time she graduated college. It is a fascinating portrait of all of the causes that she has championed, the people she has come to develop working relationships with, and is an interesting glimpse into an active and driven woman. It's not a dull read.

I was looking for a great piece of History. This book could be that piece.
Hillary Clinton may be the first female US president and her writing style is just fine, even for a Dutchman:-)
This book is recommended to anyone who is interested in a nice collectable book.

In the current race for a Democratic candidate,I have been learning alot about Hillary in this book.She is one of many "Baby Boomer" women who created a new way for Women to BE in our society,and her journey has been inspiring.
WE stand at a unique crossroads in this Nation and this book gives insight into one of the main characters in this chapter of American History.
Intelligent LEADERSHIP is what we NEED to fix the MESS of the last eight years.
I would like to thank the bookseller for a book in mint condition that arrived quickly.

I enjoyed listening to audiobooks because my busy teaching schedule does not allow me to read as many books as I would like, but audiobooks in general,and this one in particular, allowed me to listen to it (i.e. Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton) during my long commute to and from work. I like to "keep up" with and stay current with the world of politics (as well as many other areas), and I found this "book" very interesting, as Hillary Clinton is the front runner for the Democratic party. Hearing the book read by the author herself gave me a better sense of Clinton's passion for the issues she espouses and the factors (both past and relatively present)that impacted/impact her as a person, as a former first lady of the U.S., as a mother and wife, and as a potential president of the United States of America. Even though I own the book version, the audiobook version enabled me to hear the narrative much sooner during my mundane commutes to work and during other errands. Since people spend more time in their cars than they realize, they (like me) can listen to an audiobook and get informed, entertained, and enlightened while they drive to and fro. Audiobooks can make traffic and slow commutes a lot less frustrating.

This book is perfectly well. No complains about it. Excellent for the price and it worths it. I am so busy right now with my school, so I will wait when I am done with it to read it.

Poorly written book, was surprised how if you've by all means had such an interesting life you write about it so boringly. Couldn't finish it and not recoomend to others.

A friend and I went to see Hillary and forgot to take her book with us. Many people were getting her to sign her book because she signs more than HILLARY. She signs her entire three names. That is rare to have. The book I purchased has a great signature in it. It will make a super gift to the person who forgot the book when seeing Hillary.

The parts of this book that most grabbed my attention were when Sen. Clinton talked about the crushing way people in power are manipulated by special interest groups and/or opposing political parties. It really is quite something to get a peek into the world of mangled politics. Her point of view on these situations and the insight she shares really explains a lot about why nothing seems to ever get accomplished in Washington.

I didn't expect to finish this book and actually like Hilary Clinton, but I did. Many of the tough decisions she has had to make are truly remarkable. It seriously takes a special kind of person with extraordinary strength and grace to filter your way through such deception and crush through gender barriers as she has had to do.

Although I did find myself skimming through a few of the pages, overall it was very interesting, inspirational, and empowering. I'm very glad I read this book, if not to just learn more about Sen.Clinton, but just to learn more about politics in general. It's absurd craziness and I definitely recommend this book.

I highly recommend this book. Everyone should read this book, it's excellent!!!
I found it very interesting to read, it kept your interest. A real page turner. Could not put it down. I read it rather quickly to read all about her!!!

Excellent Quality, price and timely receipt of "Living History by Hillary Rodham Clinton" thank you for the chance to get a bit of herstory

was very happy with purchase and speed of delivery,i was able to get her to sign it here at a campaign stopover,And she signed my hillary hat too.

Book was delivered in good time, and great condition. I can't wait to finish my finals so I can read it.

No matter how well you think you may know a public figure, there is always something new to read and consider. It is particularly important in an election year when the individual discussed in the biography is running in a political election. I feel that this book was well written and offers many references that I took the time to check. Words quoted are often taken out of context and can be used positively or negatively. The references I personally checked in this book were right on target. I consider this book a great read and an important read at this time. For Hillary fans, the book will encourage you to work harder for her in her run for the nomination. For those who are not Hillary fans, there is probably not much to move you in any way, but it is still a great read. For those who are on the fence about Hillary, maybe it will take you into a place where you can view a different side of this controversial individual. When I say controversial, please realize I'm referring to the issues of the primary campaign. All in all, I enjoyed this book. It offered a great deal of detail involving so many key figures in history. It was very easy to find myself as a person standing in a hallway or a room where powerful conversations took place. Or in private quarters where equally riveting events occured. I highly recommend this book to any reader who favors biographies, politics, the Clinton years, or Hillary, the person.
