Title: A Brit's take on American history in the 90s...
Review: The heart of this novel had the potential to give readers a great story and several hours of entertainment. Unfortunately, the execution of the plot became far too "Clinton-esque" to remain enjoyable for the long haul. For me, all it did was remind me of a not-too-proud era of American history and that's not really something I care to remember when I'm just trying to kill some time with a good book.I liked the flashback to Oxford in the 70s, where we were shown "firsthand" accounts of our main characters. It did prove to make them more sympathetic. But, the pacing of the story was terrible and the resolutions to the conflicts laid out in this story were subpar, at best.I'm usually a big fan of Sisman's work, but this does not get my stamp of approval. You'd really do better to just read a Clinton biography or some of the media publications from his original campaign for the White House.
