More enjoyable than expected

Revisado: 04-26-18

I was expecting this book to be either a lot dryer in style or a lot more angry/emotional. I was surprised about how engaging Comey’s writing style was, and enjoyed the stories of his experiences with various leaders.
It was helpful to understand the handling of the Clinton emails, as well as the circumstances around president trump of course.
The majority of the book is about leadership qualities that shaped Comey’s life and persona, and so if you are looking for something that is partisan about either the right or the left this is not a book for you. He states multiple times that his role, and the roles of what he considers good leaders, is to be non-partisan but seek the truth and try to do what is most ethical. I disagree with parts of what he says but at least now I understand his reasoning. Funny enough, I listened to this back to back with What Happened by Hillary Clinton and Fascism, A Warning by Madeleine Albright, and these books were all very different but interesting and helped to fill in a lot of perspectives on recent happenings. I recommend.

Accurate!

While i have some reservations about the language, the reality of experience is spot on. Unless you have lived paycheck to paycheck you simply do not understand what most people go through every day. This book helps those that don't get it, get it, maybe.
I found myself nodding several times because I've been there. I've had to decide what bill do i pay and risk the other going to collections. That is one example that some people refuse to understand. Another example, just because i didn't clean today doesn't mean I'm dirty... It means I'm tired from working, so chill out.
Thanks!

Entitled asshole seeks redemption

Revisado: 05-28-15

This book. This guy... Holy cow. His wife is a saint. His new obsession became his wife and family and he tried to become what they needed him to be through obsession. It worked. But don't expect to sympathize much with his character.
