President Clinton recounts the road to the Presidency starting with the local politics in Arkansas. Very informative, whether you are a Clinton hater or not...

I read My Life at the same time that I read, "Living History" by Hillary Clinton. I always enjoy a new perspective that comes from a biography. The life of politics is not easy - always in the limelight, personal lives open to criticism. I admire anyone who accepts the challenge. One thing about Bill and Hilary Clinton – they know the power of a message.
Laura
Interesting man, well told biography with the bonus of some good democratic party history along the way. Glad to have read it. I'll go back for part two at some point. Listened on CD.
Steph
he is an excellent writer, and his depiction of his chubby childhood getting struck with political fever is really cute. too bad this paperback version was only part one of his bio!
Martin
I found it easy to read, and hard to put down, even with it's length.

A pretty good book from a pretty good president.

Off to start the second volume!

A great man's attempt to be humble. Surefire storytelling. Worth reading aloud at many points. Almost wish I'd got the Audiobook.
