So it's actually been a while since I read this one but I hadn't blogged about it yet, so here goes. I found it surprisingly good. I was worried that it was going to be boring because I couldn't get through the movie. But it was one of those books that is much better when you know what the characters are thinking and what not. It depicts what we see often of politicians who start out with good motives but get corrupted by the power and politics of it all. Actually it happens regularly in everyday life as well as it seems to me. I give it a B. I haven't felt like reading much lately, but I started on An American Tragedy and it seems good in the first 50 pages or so but there are about 800 more so it's hard to tell.
