Of course not. I'm the master at reading as much of books like this as I need in the bookstore, without buying. As it happens, I was on page 2 when I decided the book was hopeless, and I'd say I only read about ten pages in total to confirm that decision.
This book was even worse than Living History - I think I read about 15 pages of that. Hillary was smart to use a ghostwriter (which Bill didn't).
A great book has to be, well, interesting, and by that definition neither one comes even close to making the cut. I hope Mark Steyn got combat pay for that review; if so, it was richly deserved.

Mr. Steyn is a wordsmith. And he borders on being an erudito.

But for 10 mil do us a favor and lay off the 'I had an inappropriate encounter' stuff. Shoot for more of 'The shaft of light from the dying sun through the Oval Office window caught the swell of her bosom as she slid the extra-large pepperoni across the desk. I knew it was wrong. I'd penciled in that evening for bringing peace to Northern Ireland, but what the hell, the two sides of that troubled island's sectarian conflict were separated by as deep a divide as the plunging cleavage now beckoning from her low-cut angora sweater. Ulster could wait.'/b>Hmmm. Where have I seen that passage before?
Ah, yes. Post #12, September 25th, two days ago!
Either Mark Steyn is a lurker and gets some of his finest material here at FReeRepublic, or somebody forgot to cite a source...

But in the higher elevations after page 700, it's heavier going: Up in the clouds, way above the out-of-his-tree line, the president advances the theory that he was obliged to submit to random sexual advances in order to uphold the important constitutional principle that Republicans are uptight about oral sex
I dearly love Mark Styen. BTTT! What a wit!

I think, when I get married one day, I'll ask my wife to name our first child after an obscure New Zealand beekeeper.

I hope Mark Steyn got combat pay for that review; if so, it was richly deserved. Not necessary; he views it as boring research for rich source material for his hilarious column.
If you read the book with the view of looking for humor, it's probably fairly interesting.
I'll never know; my life is too valuable to waste it reading tripe.
