Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime Audiobook

" This is not a book about political candidates' positions on issues, rather an inside look at how the campaigns were run. It is fascinating!!! "

" It was very balanced in it's approach I thought. He didn't take sides...he simply reported the story. Overall though, it was too much detail. This book could have been as good as it was and been half as long. It did become tedious. "

" Fascinating and insightful. If it is as described, then this a race worth following. Seeing parallels in 2012 "

" I thought it was more interesting because I read it during this last election. I didn't finish it until after the election so those last few chapters were not quite as exciting. "

" This was an ok, book but not quite what I had hoped for. It was listed among the best books of the year by The Economist. It had some interesting annecdotes, but hardly the "political porn" it was described as. "

" A little gossipy, but a nice look into the intricacies of the 2008 election. "

" The authors had great insight into the race. They did excellent research, providing conversations between people who were running the campaigns. "

" Great behind the scenes book on the campaigns for the past election. Definitely felt like an insider and the characters in the story became real for me as opposed to the glossy images they want to be seen as in the media. "

" Insider take on 2008 election lives up to billing. A must read for political junkies. "

" Incredibly interesting & fast-reading insight into the very human & very messed up world of political campaigns. "

" A must read for any political junkie who lived the 2008 election as if it was a Game of Thrones book. Of course with less incest, I think. "

" Well written account of the 2008 US Presidential race. Great fun! "

" It is definitely written from a liberal partisan perspective. However, it is truly engaging. A must-read for political junkies. "

" I actually didn't finish this, partly due to my other life obligations and partly because of my politics. This is definitely from a left-wing point of view, but I still learned a lot of the "inside" story about the campaigns. Very entertaining! "

" Have to agree with The Economist: "High-quality political porn". "

" This was phenomenal. I loved the insider look into this election. Hope they do another one for the 2012 election campaign. "

" This one took me awhile to get through but I found it really interesting, especially during an election year. I sometimes found the author used bigger words than necessary when an everyday word could have simply been used instead but I enjoyed learning new words of the day :) "

" Very good book to read and learned somethings about the election that I was a very active participant as a lead volunteer in Minnesota for Obama. Felt was a little too inside Washington at times & not about the #1 story of the campaign which was the involvement of grassroots volunteers. "

" Read it three times. Excellent book! "

" Very good behind the scenes of the 2088 race. Also, much, much better than the already good HBO based on (one small part of) the book. "

" Brilliant insights, gripping, highly recommend. "

" Couldn't put this one down. Devoured it in a day and enjoyed it immensely. "

" Just great. As described by my friend Alex who recommended it, "like a really long, really good New York Magazine article". I remember living through all of this, of course, but now I understand it. "

" My sister recommended this book and I am glad I picked it up. It gave me new insight into our often confusing political process. There were parts that I found incomplete, but on the whole, I would recommend this book. I am watching this year unfold with increased interest. "

" Read more like a novel than a non-fiction political book. Even though I consider myself fairly well informed about political matters, I learned quite a bit about the 2008 campaign. Wow, the country really dodged a bullet by not electing McCain/Palin. "

" A pretty god overview of a historic campaign. This is the first book on this subject that presents all of the main players in an impartial way. That is to say with their positive and negative traits. A pretty good read. "

" I had starting reading this book when it first came out but put it down around page 40 and hadn't bothered to pick it up until last week. I am addicted to the political gossip. Love the behind the scene stories we didn't get to see. "

" Very interesting and entertaining. The part about McCain watching the Edwards "hair" video over and over to cheer himself up is hilarious. "

" This book is riveting. We already know how the story ends and who won, but the behind the scenes drama is as good as any suspense novel. "

" I thought if was facinating to read about all of the 2008 presidental candidates from a journalist's perspective. No one came out of this book unscathed. "

" Entertaining, although I felt like I was watching reality TV (the McCains! Does it never stop!?).My aunt showed a modicum of taste in dismissing it as a 'kiss and tell', but really I want one of these for every City Council election. "

" Fascinating look inside the 2008 campaigns. We should all read it again before the 2012 campaign. Politics is an ugly business. "

" A fast paced look at the hidden world of political campaigns and strategies that will change the way you evaluate presidential candidates. "

" I read this book mostly because I was out of the country for the primaries and run-up to the election. A fast and easy read (like a tabloid) it was interesting to get a behind the scenes look and it was surprising to see how much of that news actually DID make it out of the US. "

" Fascinating, troubling and funny (in a we're-so-screwed kind of way). "
