New York Times in a front page review Sunday, panned Clinton's 957 page book as 'sloppy, self indulgent and often eye crossingly dull'. Newsweek called in 'hardly an edge of you seat experience' and AP said it was badly conceived, flatly written poorly edited book. However, the reviews have absolutely not affected the sales as people are buying this book because they want to know what he says not how he says it. Clinton's book runs from his Arkansas childhood through his Presidency and this appears to justify and make an interesting read. When I grabbed this copy while travelling, the book read became a very interesting read on a vacation. Wonderful pics with Bill's childhood emotions and failures of his life revealed in a vivid manner. His extraordinary spirits and hard work serving the people is seen through the pages as he narrates various incidents of his life. A very determined global leader, I think the Book is a total revealing biography and for International readers, definitely make an interesting read. It is more a sort of Marketing Gimmicks that has clicked 'My Life' to fame as well as critics shoot up their comments negative too. However,As Fans of Bill Clinton read his Autobiography 'My Life' - there releases the Autobiography of the Life of an Indian Prime Minister. 'Manmohanomics: Journey to South Block, Life of an Indian Prime Minister' By Vivek Garg and Ravish Mishra. The book is published by Manas Publication priced at Rs.495/-(256 pages). This also is a good read but maybe people aren't aware of! Well, a good Read 'My Life' for those who really want to dig into Bill Clinton's most unique confidential personal and political career. A truly American Bill Clinton - A great read.

If you remember the 1988 convention speech where Clinton was nearly booed off the stage for taking too long or the state-of-the-union where he droned for over 90 minutes, you may recall the feeling you'll get somewhere around page 250 of this tome ... "when will it end?"

This particular work of mostly self-aggrandizing fiction suffers from being so self-absorbed and so badly edited it totally detracts from the nuggets of humanity and historical interest in the text. It's the "Heaven's Gate" of Presidential memoirs. That Liberals are dutifully reading this and watching the exposed liar Michael Moore (...) this summer says much about their fanatic religious devotion to their faith. Faith requires suffering!

The memoir still whitewashes much wrt Clinton's 'scandalabra', even while admitting to the bare minimum to keep it credible to the faithful. So we get Monica semi- mea culpa, but what about Genifer Flowers (she claimed a 13 year affair), or his pardon of Marc Rich? Or for that matter *important stuff* like how the Chinese managed to funnel illegal funds to his campaign in 96? Maybe its too much to expect an exhumation of his skeleton closet, but he manages to say so much yet reveal so little in so many pages. And he's entitled to his own opinions about other folks, but his view on Starr and the constitutional issues and process involved in the impeachment show he is trying to re-write history and doesnt understand Starr's appropriate role and actions. He doesnt get it - it was about lying under oath.

Dont read this. Read the Marinass bio and read Rich Lowry's "Legacy" and somewhere in the middle of their accounts is what really happened.

Lastly, read U.S. Grant's memoirs, the best Presidential memiors, writeen before Presidential memoirs were excercises in self-justification. They have all the economy and sparseness in style, bright narrative, and objective viewpoint that Clinton's memoirs lack. And he recount events far more important, like how the Civil War was won by the Union side, than details of Clinton's campaign events.
