David Foster Wallace

Back Bay Books, 2008

Important to know the context of this book was 2000, not 2008
Given DFW's recent tragic death (and the election timing of this re-release), I'd imagine alot of folks may now discover this book. What Wallace wanted current readers understand about the context, he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview from June 2008. Here's ...

Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Another Great Book from Obama
This is exactly what I wanted to hear from Barack right now. His policies written down in a handy coffee table book. They asked what his policies were, where he stood on the issues, and here it is. Read it or stop nitpicking that he hasn't been clear.

If I Ran For President

Catherine Stier

Albert Whitman & Company, 2008

A great primer for children about our country's election process
Yes, we have been checking out a lot of books about elections and voting since we are right in the middle of a presidential election year, and I have alot of opinions about the quality of books that are out there for children. I really liked "Grace for President" (I ...

The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality

Jerome R. Corsi

Threshold Editions, 2008

Don't elect this shady character
What an excellent insight into the mind, and the shady Leftist politics, of this oddball candidate. Thank God for books like this, talk radio, and Fox News for countering the biased mainstream media. VOTE McCAIN/PALIN in November.

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2004

Researching the Man
The man who wrote the book does not seem to be the man presented for the Presidency. This promotes a somewhat scary situation of mind-set of the man. It is a must read before the election.

Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down

Kaylene Johnson

Epicenter Press, 2008

Book is Thin but Full--Loved Every Bit, Makes Campaign Staff Look Like Idiots They Are....
I completely disagree with the three star review that slams the book. I read a lot, generally only non-fiction these past decade or so. As I read through the book, I kept asking myself, "was this planned by the McCain campaign staff?" After checking and seeing ...

Winning Job Interviews: Reduce Interview Anxiety / Outprepare the Other Candidates / Land the Job You Love

Paul Powers

Career Press, 2004

Eliminate "the fever," ace the interview & get the job
I've been on both sides of the job interview process: as someone doing the hiring and also as a candidate for a job. It is amazing how being on the job hunt alters your view of the interview process. Did I develop some kind of "interview fever" which made me overly ...

Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope

Nikki Grimes

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2008

Beautifully Written and Illustrated Book about Barack Obama
This is a moving beautifully written piece about Barack Obama. It is very well written and very moving. I am not a Barack Obama fan but I can't deny that this is a good book. It does map out the searching, religious story he has tried to communicate to the public. ...

Barack Obama: An American Story: An American Story (All Aboard Reading)

Roberta Edwards

Grosset & Dunlap, 2007

A Basic Reader for Kids and Adults Alike
I originally bought this little book for my granddaughter, a kindergartener who idolizes Barack Obama, and one copy for myself. When the book arrived, I quickly read it because I always do the grandmother-preview of all the books I buy for the grandkids. Lo and behold ...

What It Takes: The Way to the White House

Richard Ben Cramer

Vintage, 1993

A true classic on presidential elections
Ben Cramer follows the major candidates in their races to become president in 1988. He reproduces their speaking and thinking styles in such an incredible way that you will never be able to think of any of these people (Bob Dole, GHW Bush, Jesse Jackson) in quite the ...

Faith of My Fathers

John McCain, Mark Salter

Random House, 1999

I wouldn't say he lied about writing this book
To the previous reviewer, it clearly states in on the book's cover that "Faith of My Fathers" was co-authored with Mark Salter. I'm sure with Sen. McCain's busy schedule he didn't have the time to sit down and write a book, so Salter was hired to do the writing, but ...
