Felt like this was jumpy and hard it read. It volleyed between the evening news and the National Inquirer.

I really enjoyed the behind the scenes information on the secret service, their struggles and history.

And the gossipy parts were fun/scandalous. One part that I especially liked is when George H W Bush and an agent were searching for the cookies the other agents had hidden, just sounded like fun. ]]> <![CDATA[Connie added 'Barbara Bush: A Memoir']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78973990 Barbara Bush: A Memoir (Paperback) by Barbara Bush

Parts of this book I liked and other parts not so much.

I like the times with Tita in the kitchen and the huge bed spread she made.

But I am too cynical for the true love first glance at 15 crap.

I felt sorry for John, such a good man that ends up alone.

and poor Rosaura really gets a bad deal marrying a man that is in love with her sister and then she gets stinky and fat too! No wonder she was such a bitch. ]]> <![CDATA[Connie added 'Comfort Food']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75762153 Comfort Food (Audio CD) by Kate Jacobs
