What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception
Scott McClellan
PublicAffairs, 2008
Fantastic Book
As someone who is left-leaning I tried to read this book without any preconceived notions. Mr. McLellan's book is an extremely well written history of what happened during his time working for George W. Bush. When there are facts to be presented, he presents them as ...

The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Star Wars)
Haden Blackman
Insight Editions, 2008
If the game is as good as this book, we're all in for a treat.
I recently watched The Clones Wars and thought it was average; it felt more like an homage, than the real deal. And although I enjoyed the prequels, my faith in "a galaxy far, far away" had slowly waned until I got this book. The imagery is stunning and true to form; ...
