Title: 300 pages of self-congratulation
Product review: If you'd like listening to a mid-level New York state judge talk about how great she is for 300 pages, then this book is for you. If not, you might want to read a mystery novel written by an actual writer who knows how to keep your interest (and is a little more modest).Snyder seems to think she's a hero for presiding over criminal cases and being "tough" on the defendants (all from the protected position of a judge's chair with lots of armed officers around her). Those of us who thought that a judge's job was to be a neutral arbiter might be taken aback, but the author prides herself on being biased.It's not clear whether the book is intended as a launch for a future political run, or as a "look at me" pitch to a T.V. network. If it's the latter, it probably won't work. Judge Judy is a lot funnier, and Ann Coulter (another blonde arch-conservative) is a lot sexier, judging by the picture.Ugh!
