Historia Viva (Living History) (Abridged) Audiobook

" An interesting chronicle of the Clinton years in the White House. Hillary articulately describes her relationship with her husband from its very beginnings and her personal decision to stay with him through both good and scandalous times. In places the book felt like a propaganda piece to justify personal and administrative mistakes made during the Clinton White House years. It was informative and interesting. I don't buy everything she writes, but it was worth the read...especially in light of her presidential bid in 2008. "

" Like her or not, you have to respect Hilary Clinton. She is one hell of a woman! "

" I listened to this abridged audio version while driving from Arkansas to Kentucky. Clinton was excellent company. "

" hillary not the greatest writer... "

" didn't finish this book. terribly boring. so, 'currently reading' still... "

" This is a memoir of the eight years she spent in the White House. "

" This book is very dense, but there is so much wonderful and interesting information. It's a little overwhelming. "

" She is smart, but still sneaky...hmm this is good read, but not very revealing. "

" So far it is a very good read. "

" My mom and I both read this book when it first came out and we were disappointed because it was basically just a list of names thanking people for helping her get where she is today....not enough information about her life. I do not think my mom even finished it. "

" Entertaining and informative. I like Hillary more now that I have read this. "

" This book is trite, but mildly educational. "

" Gave me appreciation for her wealth of knowledge, consistent hard work,sense of duty and persistence in the face of the ethically void Republicans. "

" Pretty easy read for being an autobiography. It was interesting to learn about Hillary Clinton's life and how she got to where she is today. I am guessing your opinion about this book will depend upon how you feel about Hillary Clinton. "

" Amazing! What a strong woman! "

" Her book takes us from when she is young, to her college days and meeting her future husband to-be President Bill Clinton, to becoming an attorney during the Nixon era, and beyond. Very impressive read! "

" Made me appreciate her and the events of her life even more. "

" A bio with no soul. "

" Hard to read and yet unputdownable. I know that's contradictory but she is such a complex woman with an amazing story to tell - it's just it's a shame that the writing is not more compelling. "

" I wanted to like this more, but I found it dry and uninspiring. I think revealing a little more of the real Hillary would have made this come alive. I can barely remember it. "

" Fun book. What bad press Hillary generally gets. She is so strong, clear minded and bright. "

" The first book that I ever read. Fantastic recollection from Hillary Clinton herself, detailed and intense chapters all give us insight into the Washington political system. "

" Converted me to a Hillary fan... "

" not bad all things were exactly like a ball "

" So far it is a very good read. "

" Her bio-skimmed, lots of name dropping, boring "

" Ugh. I like and admire her, but this book is clearly just self-promotion. Couldn't finish it, unfortunately. "

" Interesting life she's led. Wish she'd have allowed a ghost writer to write it well for her--stylistically on par with a fourth grade book report, but salvaged by how fascinating her life has been. "

" I fully admit to skimming a lot of this. I found the personal stuff a lot more interesting than the political - and even with all the name-dropping, I had no idea who lots of people were. "

" I love Hil, but she writes like she talks. And in the case of this book, her writing was so pathetically self-serving as to be really hard to read. "

" I loved the history going on in this book! She is some lady! "

" It was indeed amazing living history with one of my favourite role models-Hillary Rodham Clinton!:)-Simply loved it!:) "

" I likes the part about her hair and how it's been a problem her whole life. "

" This book is very dense, but there is so much wonderful and interesting information. It's a little overwhelming. "

" I really liked how down to earth Hilary seemed in this book. Her style of writing was great and overall I enjoyed the book! "

" wish i had read this before the election, though i still might not have voted for her, i probably would have listened to her more carefully. doesnt get into the details of the monica scandal, which i think is nice, altogether a good and informative read. "
