Summary: Honest attempt to uncover a Fortunate Son
Comment: I read this book some months ago and thought it was an honest portrayal of how George W Bush has floated through his life. Clearly he would not be where he is without the enormous power and influence of his family. When I first heard about the book I thought it was going to be some demented hatchett job by an extreme Partisan, so completely had the Bush machine discredited the author. Now it seems clear that James Hatfield was a troubled but talented man who was not particularly liberal. He was also a good investigative journalist dispite his checkered past. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to have their eyes open about exactly what kind of man is ocupying the White House.

Summary: It's a credible account of privilege and smooth talking
Comment: Fortunate Son is a well-written and well-documented book and I am puzzled by the furor from the Republicans over its publication. Most of the information in the book has been covered in newspapers and magazines; however, it does put under one cover, the extraordinary advantages of having rich friends who are so eager to share their wealth, their expertise, and their silence with seemingly no desire for return. It appears that GW Bush is able to talk his friends into almost anything, particularly where money is involved. This probably accounts for the arrogance that comes across in Hatfield's account. It's no wonder that people who supplied information did not want their names revealed. For someone who professes to be against bringing suit against others, it's ironic that this is often the threat when Republicans see something they don't like. It's an interesting read for anyone who would like to know more about the personality and past of our current president. I plan to share my copy with friends. AB Muhs

Summary: Very good
Comment: George W. Bush is not the sharpest tool in the shed and I think we all know that, but he is certainly sneaky, conniving and out for himself. This well researched book tells just what a spoiled rich kid he is and how he is used to getting his own way no matter what the expense or who gets in the way. This book details his business failures, his drinking and drug problems including his arrest for cocaine . But not to worry, daddy took care of that little mess. The author and the publisher were even threatened with a lawsuit because George didn't want the truth to get out. The author was eventually killed...what a surprise. A very interesting book even if your not into politics.
