Download Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House Audiobook

" It looked interesting but lacked a lot. Hard to plow through. "

" Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson were caught in the net of the "Imperial Presidency" and they became victims of the neocons. Two people who spent 20+ years serving their country became collateral damage of liars who confused covering lies of the President/Vice President with what was good for the country. "

" Man, did they (the Bush Republican machine) screw her. "

" If the Cheney cabal can do this to a highly trained CIA operative and her former ambassador husband, then what might the ordinary citizen expect. "

" This is a must read. "

" A lot of redaction in the book, but overall an okay read. Basically the story of the spy who was outed by the White House from the spy's perspective. "

" The book was educational in CIA 101 and character assassination. Important read. However, Incredibly repetitive. Could have been half the length and still hit the mark. The numerous passages that were redacted by the CIA didn't bother me. "

" Plame Wilson comes across well here, articulate and likable. But all the redacted prose here is disorienting and frustrating with words, sentences and sometimes entire paragraphs completely removed. Even after reading this book, I felt like her complete story still eluded me. "

" Hard to read with many words/sentences crossed out literally. "

" Taken aback at first by the redacted text. "

" Inspiring yet frightening and heart-breaking. The redactions are annoying, but illustrative. "

" I enjoyed learning about this story that had so much news coverage. It was very frustrating to muddle through all the blocked text yet glad I read it. It was also cool to learn more about the CIA. "

" Reading between the lines was both annoying and enticing, but the epilogue explained things that were left unanswered. "

" I was really looking forward to reading this book. That is until I started it and found out that half of it has been blacked out! I read about 50 pages and had to put it down. "

" It feels like a quarter of it is censored, although the essay at the end helps put things in perspective. I still am confused why everyone cared so much about Joe's supposed "boondoggle". What did that have to do with anything? "

" It had potential, but ultimately all the blocked out portions just became too much.. it was really disjointed. Plus, I kind of felt like she and her husband were a little on the whiny side. "

" Too bad so much of the book was redacted by the CIA, but still an excellent story. "

" Amazing what Governments can get away with. "

" basically a great book, but SO redacted it's a real challenge to read. the low rating has nothing to do with the quality of writing or content, just the overall readability of the thing. with so much redacted, it's almost impossible to follow. shame on you, CIA... "

" Interesting insight into the Valerie Wilson scandal, the Bush administration, and the CIA. "

" I did not finish this book. It was alright, but didn't really grab me. I think it might make a better movie. "

" Full of good guys and bad guys like a novel. Too bad the redacting makes it so disjointed. I can't wait to see the movie. Good people seem to get screwed by republicans every day. I have yet to be convinced that there are any republicans with integrity. "

" Loved this book - a fascinating look at the lengths to which the Bush White House would go to justify its war with Iraq. Full disclosure: I wrote an article about the "outing" of Wilson as a CIA officer for a legal journal, so there was almost no way I wouldn't devour this book. "

" Bit heavy on politics, low on scandal & action thus far "

" I suspect that Ms. Wilson has a fascinating story to tell, but I can't be sure, because she's such a terrible writer. If a book ever made the case for the advantages of using the services of a professional ghost writer, this is it.
