Book Review: Game Change


Title: Game Change
Author: John Heilemann and Mark Halperin
Rating: ***.5
A Quick Overview: Game Change was written by 2 reporters about the Obama/McCain primary and presidential runs. It's an inside look giving details about conversations and oppinions that were not seen on the news.

My Thoughts: Of course I love this kind of stuff so I liked the book... The reporters were obviously slanted in my oppinion, although not quite as much as the news coverage was during the campaign. I'd say 70% or so of this book is about Obama, with the rest shared between McCain, Palin, Biden, Clinton, and Edwards. It was quite interesting to read the opposition to Sarah Palin's book though. She gave her side of the story, and this is the other side. But after reading this book, I still love her. The book talked a lot of Obama's arrogance, that even his own campaign staff would complain about. Definitely a good read if you like this kind of stuff. :)
