Why do the women married to these politicians support them all of the time even in moments of stupidity. As a wife, I guess I would say I want him to succeed and if everyone else is tearing him down, why should I heap some more dirt on top and bury him---he may not come out alive.<BR/><BR/>This is on my to-read list for sure.Serenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-17237151845142635322008-09-09T13:38:00.000-04:002008-09-09T13:38:00.000-04:00Sounds like a great book. I'd like to give it a try, even though I couldn't get into "Prep." I didn't know until just recently that the book basically is about Laura and George Bush.

I agree with the assessment that this book could have a short shelf life - really quite risky for an author in my opinion. I cannot imagine who might be interested in this book in 10 or 15 years, despite it being a teriffic read.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-5312555119471089292008-09-03T12:49:00.000-04:002008-09-03T12:49:00.000-04:00I just want to say thanks for linking all your reviews to IndieBound!

I think it may last beyond the current administration - it's written well and I think I'd like it even if it wasn't related to real life.

I look forward to reading it. I've often wondered how someone as decent (seeming) as Laura Bush could wind up with someone like Dubyah. Maybe this would explain a bit.LisaMMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10530087423961700607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-55485058098169923332008-09-02T12:24:00.000-04:002008-09-02T12:24:00.000-04:00I haven't read it, but it's on my wishlist.bermudaonionhttp://bermudaonion.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-61555285601400708832008-09-02T12:13:00.000-04:002008-09-02T12:13:00.000-04:00I reviewed it earlier this week (click <A HREF="http://rjsbooklady.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/book-review-american-wife-by-curtis-sittenfeld/" REL="nofollow"> here </A> to read), but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as you did. I agree that the writing is good, but I couldn't get past the gimmick of writing a controversial book about a current First Lady and releasing it during one of the hottest weeks of election season.rjsbookladyhttp://rjsbooklady.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
