All Too Human

George Stephanopoulos

"I decided to read All Too Human by George Stephanopoulos because I'm interested in the upcoming election, and so it's a very candid look at the Clintons in the White House from just a very unique prism.

The book is after Stephanolopoulos leaves the White House. The Monica Lewinski story broke while he was writing it, so there is this reflection of his time in the White House originally with sort of this happy ending; and it was just a very young, inexperienced team when Clinton came into the White House.

They are a power couple; they are clearly a team. It's a much more complex view of how you have to operate in the modern White House, the complexities, the deals you have to make, and his view and his view and his response to both Hillary Clinton and the President.

It's fascinating. It's really good. Now we are - I don't know - ten or 15 years later, and some of the same people are in this political scene, including the Clintons. So it's good; and I think it's just interesting to look at 10 or 15 years before if you're interested in political context. Plus, I mean Hillary Clinton, everyone wants to know about her, and here's another view of that. 4½ stars for this book.'
