Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics Audiobook

" I read this book to get a better understanding of Joe Biden. In the beginning I wasn't impressed with him but as I continued through the book, I began to admire Joe Biden for the choices he made and his comments. He seems to be a man who admits when he's wrong and takes the advice of others when needed. "

" Truth be told, I liked him more before I read this. The beginning was so strong, because it was pure story-telling, and coming from a culture that was similar to my childhood one. Then it became a mea culpa and an extended resume at times. His lifestory is compelling and heartbreaking, but, to protect his family's privacy or not use his tragedy, he avoided some of the more dramatic parts of his life. I get the impression that writing isn't his forte (I'd say he's best talking off the cuff, telling stories rather than giving speeches or writing narrative). "

" I really enjoyed the chapters on passing VAWA, the Violence Against Women Act and on the Anita Hill testimony at the Clarence Thomas SCOTUS hearing. "
