    <body><![CDATA[Excellent book, well written, and engaging. I wanted to read this book to learn a bit more about John McCain.  To be fair to both presidential candidates, I also plan to read Barack Obama's autobiography, not because I like or support him, but because I want to know more about him.  Let me emphasize the fact that I do not plan on reading it because I like him, support him, or agree with his views (in fact, I feel quite the opposite), but to learn more about him.<br/><br/>Anyways.  Back to John McCain.  This book (his autobiography) gives a good description of his grandfather's, father's, and his own life.  It goes into depth about his own war experiences as a POW in Vietnam, and gives some insights into his character.<br/><br/>*****WARNING!*****<br/><br/>DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT HAVING YOUR PARENTS PRE-READ IT!<br/><br/>My parents read it before me, and they decided that the good in the book outweighed the bad.  They trust my discretion and responsibility not to be influenced by the negatives.<br/><br/>Which are: (so your parents know what to watch out for in the event that they proofread it)<br/>Some inappropriate strong language<br/>Some war-related situational content<br/><br/>I will recapitulate:<br/><br/>DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT HAVING YOUR PARENTS PRE-READ IT!<br/>]]></body>
