Plenty of blame to go around, but none for the candidate herself?
ByGlennman8on September 13, 2017
Format: Hardcover
Clinton blames everyone but herself in this memoir of a failed Presidential candidate. I guess this is what happens when the losing candidate tries to publish a book complaining about losing an election. I don't think I've seen this before in my lifetime. Don't bother buying it now, the book is garbage, just terrible. BUT, if you have a passing interest in reading it, just wait a few months, the half price book stores will be flooded with them. I'd bet they'll even have some autographed copies there. Yes. It's that bad.

I read this book hoping to gain some key insight ...
ByD. Mackon September 13, 2017
Format: Hardcover
I read this book hoping to gain some key insight into the Clinton campaign, but instead all I got was a muddled mess of excuses for the supposedly most qualified candidate ever to run for president losing to someone who had never run for any office. Throughout the book, Hillary can't comprehend the pulse of the everyday American and at one point inexplicably interprets the message of 1984 by George Orwell as being "people have to trust their leaders more". Did she even read that book? If she had, maybe she'd understand why people weren't keen on her.

Should be titled, "WAAAAHHH IT'S NOT MY FAULT"
ByJasminon September 13, 2017
Format: Hardcover
Seriously, if I wanted to hear about how someone's failure is on everyone but them, I'll talk to my 3 year old when she breaks something. Oh wait, my 3 year old even knows how to accept her failures as her own.

Worth the time
ByReal Audiophileon September 13, 2017
Format: Hardcover
This book is worth the time if you are looking for a comedy. I just got through this train wreck and realized it is a book of excuses. Very painful to read. Wait until it hits the .99 cent bin in a week or two.

I paid $25 and struggled to *listen* for 20 minutes. Absolutely the worst book I've ever heard it's basically Hillary just deluding and speaking nonsense nonstop.

Anything and everything but herself .. 'Covfefe'
ByRJ Parker, Ph.Don September 12, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
|
Verified Purchase
It's pathetic and immature that Clinton can't accept personal responsibility for her loss. She was a terrible candidate and had a hard time defeating Bernie. Only for the super-delegates in California, Bernie would have beaten her.
But, according to Hillary, 'What Happened' was ...
Suburban women didn't like her
The Russians interferred
The FBI and James Comey
Facebook
Twitter
Wikileaks
Bernie Sanders
TV Executives
Cable News
Fake News
The Democrats
The Republicans
Low informed voters
The 'Deplorables'
Content farms in Macedonia
Obama winning two terms
Bad polling numbers
But of course Donald Trump didn't play any part in her losing. She simply did not connect with people. To her it was like she had an entitlement because of her name.
My take: the level of rationalizing this woman is capable of just defies credulity. Like a drug addict who refuses to admit his addiction, Hillary could very well go to her grave unable to admit that her problems were largely caused by her.
