Title: Badly Needs an Editor
Product review: There's a nugget of a good book here. Franken can be very funny, and there's lots of material in a fake Presidental memoir. But the few good bits--character sketches, amusing mishaps--are buried in the format. Press releases, a Time cover story, diary entries; it all gets overwhelming and repetitive. Had this been written as a straight memoir, it might have been delightful, but the jokey format brings it down.
