Summary: well researched biography of George W. Bush
Comment: As with any book, like Al Franken's, "Lies....", any attempt to prevent it from being published, makes people want to know why, and that is why I read this book. It is well researched, there are pages and pages of sources to back up his statements. He had tried numerous times to talk to Bush about the book, but was ignored and then he and his family were threatened, they even knew the baby's name, if he published the book. Now that really got my interest. When I started to read the book I was puzzled by their actions. He didn't sound biased, in fact, as you read about Bush in his childhood you got the feeling he kind a liked him. Bush was a little wild growing up, drank a lot and chased women, which a good portion of young men do at that time in their lives. There's even a few stories, if he had wanted to, he could have used malice, but he didn't, in fact, I ended up grinning at a couple of his antics. He was writing a biography and tried to write it as accurate and truthful as he knew how. He told about Bush's drinking problems, how losing his little sister hurt him, about him accepting Jesus and his turning to sobriety and his business deals, etc. As Bush matured, we get a look at a different person, one who doesn't act so christian. The man he has turned into is one that is downright scary for the people of our country. Through the name and position of his father, we find that young Bush is rescued and backed financially by moneyed people. People with money who expected to be rewarded for their generosity and that is repeated over and over. This book clearly shows us an accurate picture of the man in the White House. If there are things in this book that he and his party don't like (and there are many things), it is not the fault of the author, for he just reported the facts, Bush did the deeds. We all, sometime or another, have to reap what we sow. I would recommend that everyone should read this book before the next election so that you will know who this man truly is before deciding your vote.

Summary: Nothing but slander written by a thug
Comment: This is the book full of slander and lies written by a man who hired a hitman in an unsuccessful attempt at murder. Those who despise President Bush will continue to enjoy books like this however as they are full of lies as to what they want others to believe.

Summary: An intellectually honest review of a sad state of affairs
Comment: Hatfield comes across as a man looking for the truth, and in my view, he uncovers what any intuitive person would expect to find, if not more discouraging. There is much that smells bad about George W. Bush, his easy life, and the clean-up that occurred to make him pretty for election. This book, if you are interested in something approaching a credible explanation of how this boy became president, takes you right to the source of that smell. It's too bad Hatfield was hounded to a less than "compassionate" end for his efforts to pull back the curtain on the unlikely successes of George W. Bush.
