I got the impression you were not impressed with the book.
I wasn't at all. I like Ari, and thought he was a good Press Secretary. So I was surprised to find that his book was incredibly dry and pointless. Instead of focusing on the big events of the first four years of GWB's presidency, Ari's book was all about explaining why he interacted with the WH press corps the way he did. It was sort of an apologia for the way he interacted with them. Boring and, as I said, pointless, contributing nothing to our larger understanding of those most historic years.
