I'm not sure how to rate this. I am not even half-way through and I doubt I'll finish the book. I picked this up for a few dollars at Walgreen's one day interested to learn more about Tim Russert. I had long been impressed by him and his optimism and knowledge. I was shocked when I heard he suddenly died and I thought of him several times during last year's election, thinking how unfortunate for all of us that he missed it.

I wasn't going read this at first, except that my grandmother recommended it. I thought it'd be just a compendium of eulogies; hagiography on a talented and wonderful man. I tend to gravitate toward more salacious offerings on more complex personalities.

This is an excellent book on Tim Russert. I realy enjoyed the way it was put together.The author hadfriends of Mr. Russert tell their stories of him and how they knew him and memories of him from their point of view. I am still reading this book but what happens is alot of the stories that are related to him begin to repeat in each persons memory. Because of this after reading two thirds of the book I have made this bathroom reading because of the short chapters it is good for this.Irealy enjoy...more
reads like a rough draft (and a sloppy one at that) and except for the excerpt from Richard Stengel's 1985 Rolling Stone profile, is eminently forgettable.
If you were any sort of a Tim Russert fan this is a must read. I read Big Russ and Me prior to Tim's Death. This winter when I read this book I didn't want to let Tim go. Wonderful Stories from Tim's friends celebrating A Great Life.
