This is one of the best books I've ever read. Simply incredible.

The look at the inner workings of the Trump Family dynamics was both interesting and horrifying. Definitely worth a read.

I'll admit, I thought about abandoning this in Chapter 1 because the tears started flowing early and I thought that would be the entire book.

Don't let that stop you.

It's an amazing book about man's best friend.

O'Donnell does an extraordinary job of examining the election of 1968 and how it caused a complete change in the way politics had to be approached in America going forward.

I've always had a marked interest in the history of the politics of the 1960's. I have spent entirely too much time wondering about the what-if's that O'Donnell speaks about at the tail of the book.

What if JFK had gone on to be reelected in 1964, instead of being assassinated in 1963? Would Bobby have been his heir apparent in 1968? Would the war in Vietnam ended in the mid-60's instead of the mid-70s?

Whatever your political views, this should be a must read for anyone with an interest in how our country has arrived at where we are now.

If you enjoyed “Serial”, you need to read this book. The areas that Koenig did not cover intensely are delved into in earnest by Chaudry. It is partly a biography of Adnan and partly a social statement about our criminal justice system. Chaudry clearly has an agenda, but it's not in your face; she reasons with you and lays out all the facts. Wonderful read!
