Anyone read this yet? Is it really that good?

Haven't read it, but it has to be better than Morris's silly book which made me so mad, I had to stop reading it. I just couldn't accept the Morris conceit of putting himself into Reagan's life. Morris also missed much of the connection between Reagan and why he was so well regarded by middle America. Many biographers, like Morris, mean well, but they obviously don't understand grassroots America. Reagan did, but Morris has no clue.

It must not be, because it's not in the Columbus public library yet. (They have everything!)

If you want a really good Reagan book, read "Riding With Reagan" by John R. Barletta.

How about Dinesh D'Souza's biography?

A really great book about Reagan is Reagan's War by Peter Schweizer.

No Reagan lover should miss out on reading this book.

It's good but far from the best.
The best biography of RR is God and Ronald Reagan by Paul Kengor.
