Grunwald is obviously pro-Obama, but the book itself is not all sunshine-and-unicorns. He is critical of the President and his message, even while bringing to light what many of us believed was true--the Republicans were out to make sure he didn't succeed, regardless of the merits of his policies. (In some ways, the book reads like a season of "The West Wing" which is not a bad thing). The book is a great look into Obama's first term, and it is odd to look at the Epilogue and how Romney will "probably" be Obama's opponent in the 2012 elections, with no Ryan running mate as of yet (although Ryan does make a few appearances toward the end). All told, Grunwald gives a detailed, thoughtful perspective on what Obama did (and didn't) do during his first four years in office.

A quick read, but might hit some heart-spots for women with fertility issues.

It's hard to use the word delightful to describe a WWII novel, but I will. This book offers a refreshing, haunting perspective of life in Germany during the darkest of times, without weighing down the reader in guilt and over-whelming saddness.

A fun read, with many questions about identity, love, and what it means to be "you".

Overall, I enjoyed the tale of intrigue. I will admit to wishing the narrator ill at points, however.

Why can no one get Darcy and Elizabeth right???

An interesting look at new racial segregation in America. The author was a little repetitive, as if he forgot what he had written in earlier chapters. Still, the book brings up a lot of food for thought.

Not as bad as I had imagined it would be, but definitely not the best book I've ever read either. I feel accomplished having finished it and knowing what all the hullabaloo is about.
