Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Funny, interesting, intriguing, but somehow still missing something. "

" Ugh, Clinton. This guy is remembered fondly. "

" So I was able to finish reading the book a few hours ago and I was like whoa! I hate politics! The characters looks like power greedy people! They are almost heartless. "

" A fascinating and yet worring look into American politics behind the scenes. Glad to be British. "

" A great political story about the presidential candidate of Jack Stanton, a Clinton-esque figure. For anyone who wanted to peer inside of a campaign, it is great story. "

" Take away the guessing game as to which elements were actually inspired by the Clinton campaign and you've got an average read that flies off the rails at the end with a Bizzaro World version of Deus ex machina. "

" Fun to read. The book became popular because the author was not identified for a long time and it is clearly based on a sitting president. But had it been published without all the hype about "who is it" it never would have become anything. Somewhat forgetable. Big deal. "

" Check me out - 5 years after everyone else. "

" I read this book before Joe Klein was the acknowledged author. I got a kick out of the veiled references to Clinton's early years...Of course, back then, Clinton seemed more harmless than he appears in retrospect. "

" Back when I read this book, the author was Anonymous, but as we all know now, Anonymous is Joe Klein. Great narration by Peter Francis James. "

" I thought this was a pretty sharp book. I thought the passage on the politics of the handshake was superb writing craftsmanship. Kind of page-turnery for me, but I let it in the five-star backdoor anyway. "

" The author's been outed since I read it and now everyone knows it was about Dear old Bill. An interesting behind the scenes look at American politics in those pre West Wing days. "

" Read this upon its release...entertaining, not-earth shattering. "

" As a huge fan of president Clinton, politics and The New Yorker, this is one of my favorite books of all time. Brilliantly penned, page-turner that doesn't compromise its political roots for story. "

" Got a bit sentimental towards the end, but loved the well-drawn and realistic characters. "

" Am including this book in my list of Top 40 Finest Novels. Beautifully written -- entertaining and disturbing, but also quite funny in many parts. "

" Ugh. After slogging through 500 pages of insider babble about the turmoil of being the campaign manager for a (losing? - it's not clear whether Staton will eventually triumph) presidential candidate, the book just...ends. With no resolution. Interesting in parts, a disappointment in the end. "

" This is a GREAT plot, well written and really interesting so now I don't care who wrote it. (reviewed in 1996) "

" Interesting take on campaign politics. "

" Nice book. Mostly fun as a stroll down memory lane, back to the crazy, wacky days of campaign '92. "

" An excellent look at the political machine. A very thinly vieled fictional account of Bill Clinton's initial run for the presidency. "

" This was a good book and enjoyed reading it as this is an election year. Some parts dragged on but it was still enjoyable. Anonymous? Not!!! "

" A really good book and the movie provides an excellent adaptation. It's based on Bill and Hillary Clinton and provides an interesting insight into life on the campaign trail and all of the issues that crop up along the way. "

" Not exactly great literature, and certainly not educational, but it's not a bad read. "

" Funny and sad, pathetic and all too true. "

" I like this book less ever since I found out it was written by that assmonkey Joe Klein. But whatever. "
