Hillary Clinto, Hard Choices Book from June

Heather's Ratings

Overall - Glad we read it. I wouldn't have otherwise, and as I said in our call, I was fascinated at how personal the diplomacy process is. Even at the world leader level. I liked getting a glimpse of that.

Content - 6 - More like a recitation of facts than anything deeply important. I wanted her to reveal state secrets, which of course she can't do!

Writing Style - 8 - Textbook case of nicely shaped and formed thoughts for a politician.

Emotional Impact - 0 - Yikes, I don't think I've ever given a zero before. But seriously, I didn't feel moved in the slightest. Like reading the newspaper.

I'd rate it in the list after DANCING FISH AND AMMONITES
