If your funny older sister were the former deputy chief of staff to President Barack Obama, her behind-the-scenes political memoir would sound something like this. Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? is an intimate and admiring portrait of a president, a candid book of advice for young women, and a promising debut from a savvy political star.

It Was Just Like I Thought It Would Be
Revisado: 11-13-17
I was so very glad that I gave this book a listen. Mastromonaco's oral reading was easy to follow (rate and volume were perfect and she inflected in such a way that portrayed sincerity). While she revealed her experiences during the Obama presidency she thoroughly answered the questions posed in her title. I realized that this was not the intended outcome the author was going for but nonetheless... I have always admired President Obama and was always grateful for his service and now having "read" Mastromonaco's book I saw that it wasn't enough for there are many unsung heroes working in the White House and the author was one about whom we would have never known. I'm 65 years old and would never be a White House employee but I wanted to know what it was like. Thanks to this book I now know. I consider this to be a must buy.

Father Greg Lockwood is unlike any Catholic priest you have ever met - a man who lounges in boxer shorts, who loves action movies, and whose constant jamming on the guitar reverberates "like a whole band dying in a plane crash in 1972". His daughter is an irreverent poet who long ago left the church's country. When an unexpected crisis leads her and her husband to move back into her parents' rectory, their two worlds collide.

A surprise read.

I feel enlightened about the Catholic religion’s inner workings as seen through the eyes of one of it’s children. Being a former member of the catholic religion I found I was sensitive to it’s revelations. I didn’t find it funny. Perhaps one day I’ll give it another listen and see the humor. Even so, I think it is a good book to listen to as it puts another perspective on the idea of religion. Perhaps I’m the only person who feels this way. Give it a read and let me know.
