Reviews

Part biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton and part compendium of all the alleged scandals connected to the Clintons, this audiobook provides much detail on the young HRC and also discusses every scandal ever connected to the Clintons, even some long discredited. In a low, clear, serious voice, Burr communicates the author's cynicism toward Mrs. Clinton and her professional and political activities. The audiobook is well produced, with excellent music at the end of each side. M.L.C. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Biographer Milton has drawn a fairly unflattering portrait of Hillary Clinton that traces her personal and professional development from her childhood in Illinois to her years of study at Wellesley and Yale Law School, her early career, and her role as First Lady. Clinton's relationship with the President is examined in detail, from their first meeting in law school through the Monica Lewinsky affair. Her bond with daughter Chelsea and possible run for political office are also examined. Reader Sandra Burr has a pleasant voice, although she speaks a bit too quickly at times. The impressive abridgment is seamless, and listeners will probably not be aware of the phrases, paragraphs, or pages that are cut throughout the book; it is also severe in places, at times stripped to a bare-bones summation of the facts. Not a necessary purchase except where demand dictates.ALeah Sparks, Bowie P.L., MD
