Hard Choices by Hillary Rodham Clinton
I read Hard Choices by Hillary Rodham Clinton to try to help me make a decision in the upcoming presidential election. I'm still uncertain. However, I did find the book informative. It was interesting to hear what she had to say about Benghazi, to get her side of the story. I listened to the audiobook. I liked having her read it to me for most of the book. I think it helps show the particular emotion she wanted to convey rather than someone else interpreting what they THINK she is trying to convey. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy politics. Therefore, I found most of the book really boring and tended to have my brain wander off to other matters. I had to listen to probably half of the book twice. I do think the book somewhat helps her show her dedication to what she does. There were certain points that I thought she was bringing in simply to "check a box," so to speak. For example, she uses the term public service/servant quite a bit. I felt it became a little disingenuous. I did come away from the book feeling as though I know her a little better now. Simply for the subject matter, I give the book 2 out of 5 stars. It was ok. It served it's purpose for me, somewhat.
