In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir Audiobook

" Good read. Enjoyed learning about his entry into politics. "

" Listened to this audio. Cheney seems a bit over confident in his opinions of decisions that should have been made. He wasn't afraid to admit when others were wrong but I didn't hear any confessions about times when he was wrong (well maybe one - he changed his opinion that Ford shouldn't have pardoned Nixon). He seemed to have great respect for President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. I also read the book written by his daughter who managed his campaign. Always enjoy hearing the perspective of people who were in the midst of historic events. "

" One of best political memoirs in American history. The critical reviews appear to have anticipated a gossip-ridden "tell-all" style work. Instead we have been blessed with a serious, well-developed, and extensive glimpse into the American Presidency and government over the past 40 years. "

" Very interesting insights to many world events that Cheney was involved with over his many jobs in Government. Interesting learning Cheney's take on different events and getting the his behind the scenes take. "

" Smug, self-satisfied, and in blissful denial of inconvenient facts. It hurts me to give it even one star, but the gentle folk at Good Reads made me do it. "

" Good to get the perspective. I've read Bush's, Rice's, and Rumsfeld's memoirs on the same time frame; together they give a good history of the period. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I distinctly remember George Bush Sr time in office (I was in high school) and it was the beginning of my interest in politics. It was fascinating to read from his own words things that took place during that time. Dick Cheney has been around for a lot of serious changes in America and he was willing to answer the call to serve many times, from his years under Ford, to being the Secretary of Defense under Bush Sr to the Vice Presidency. He knows and understands Washington better than most and I consider him a true patriot. This book sheds a bright light on that fact. I hope other rise to the caliber of this great man. Great read. "

" I just got the this book today, and so far I really like it. I think that this book is probably more truthful, and up front about what really was going on in the White House, during the Bush year's, in office, and who was really running things. "

" A good book. Well written, informative and engaging. Increased my appreciation and gratitude for Mr. Cheney and his family for their many years of public service. "

" Whether you like him or hate him, he is one of the most influential and contraversial statesmen of the past three decades. This book is an explanation and defense of his beliefs. It is very well written and is certainly worth your time whatever you may believe. "

" I like Dick Cheney's candor and honesty. He is a politician and not a novelist and that is exactly how this reads. I still liked it. "

" So far, excellent book. Very easy read, well written, and relates to events I lived through. "

" I read the book and still do not like Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney loved Dick Cheney. I would guess that he made a lot of enemies from the Washington crowd and other politicians he worked with after the book was published. This is your choice whether you want to read or not. "

" Interesting autobiography. I actually walked away feeling a bit better about the guy. Growing up in Wyoming, I looked up to him. Was appalled by some of his behavior in office as VP and still disagree with him on several points there. Was a good listen though. "

" I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who lived through the past decade! It provides valuable insight and sets the record straight on several key issues - foreign and domestic. I hadn't realized the breadth of experience that Cheney brought to office. Wow - I'm a fan. :) "

" Glad I read it. Lots of interesting stuff that I did not know before. "

" Very good book. Loved the insight as to what was happening at the White House and the President on Sept 11th. "

" Good read. Gave me an entirely different view of Cheney as compared with the demonization of Cheney that I had from reading main stream media. "

" cannot wait to read this! next week! "

" Really good and inciteful. Lots of background info on the events of the last decade and although it is told from one man's perspective, I feel like it seemed even handed in the people and events. "

" This book was written better than Bush's and Rove's books. It was on par with Rumsfeld's book. I came away with 3 thoughts. Powell was deceitful. Rice was a screw-up. Bush left a wounded soldier on the battlefield. "

" Very interesting history of Dick Cheney's life and behind the scenes in Washington. "

" His upbringing and his effort to change his life are both admirable. I agree with his approach toward North Korea. But seriously, his attempt to rationalize going to war with Iraq, and keeping the troop there, is just pathetic! "

" I read it to understand a man shrouded in mystery, yet when I finished, I found more questions than answers. "

" I expected to be bombarded with opinions on why he did this and why he thought that, but most of the key events in which he was involved were described as "I agreed" or "I disagreed" without much explanation. "

" Whether you like him or hate him, he is one of the most influential and contraversial statesmen of the past three decades. This book is an explanation and defense of his beliefs. It is very well written and is certainly worth your time whatever you may believe. "

" Good read. Gave me an entirely different view of Cheney as compared with the demonization of Cheney that I had from reading main stream media. "

" Unapologetic, passionate memoir from a much maligned public servant. "

" Very good book. Loved the insight as to what was happening at the White House and the President on Sept 11th. "

" About 75% horsesh%t...25% heart attacks and Saddam was super bad dude. "
