The Running Mate: A Novel Audiobook

" I could not get interested in this book. "

" Not as good as Primary Colors but a decent fluffy political read to distract myself from this election season. "

" Ugh...only the third book in a lifetime of reading that I could not finish. Halfway through I stillo had not idea what the plot was and didn't care about the characters. I can't even sell this book at a garage sale. "

" Not the politically driven novel I expected, which was a nice surprise. Charlie Martin was, in fact, a senator but this is really a love and life story. I liked it more than I thought I would. "

" Is it okay to rate a book if you didn't read it? Well, I thought I would enjoy this one, but within the first few pages the "f" word was used twice, and I decided that was too much. So I quit reading. The end. "

" Really enjoyed Klein's novel. You got the inside look and feel of a real campaign, with the great story-telling of a novel. "

" Ok, I like watching the Newsroom on TV better "

" Joe Klein's novel about American Politics...has the nice ring of an insider, or a truly closer observer, attempting to make sense of the wicked, complicated and financially corrupt crazy world of American Politics. "

" How did I not know about this book? "

" A surprisingly good book--a good story about a US senator from "Des Pointe" in a midwestern state--but also surprisingly insightful about national politics & human relationships (which is, at root, politics). "

" I was in the mood for some fluffy reading, and for me political books like this fit that bill. This book was really fun, though if you're not a political junkie like me, it could get tedious and maybe even boring at times. I like hearing about the ins and outs of Washington and campaigns . . . "

" What does a politician face when running for an office? Good insight with a love twist in this novel written in 3rd person. "

" Unfortunately the Aberdeen library only had the abridged version, but I really liked it anyway. Joe Klein also wrote Primary Colors, which I adored, and this book was also politically driven and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the lovestory, since I endeavor to be a political wife. "

" Most people don't know that Klein wrote a follow up to Primary Colors. This is probably better and if you're like me, you knew less about Bob Kerrey coming into this than you would Clinton coming into Primary Colors "

" This was an audio tape. I don't remember why, but we did not care for the story. "

" A U.S. Senator who is struggling in all facets of his life. It moves slowly in places and has a cast of thousands but is worth while. "
