Interesting story of an unlikely politician and the fight against special interests (and the big banks in particular).
Wow! Okay, I need a disclaimer: I like Warren and her positions, and I suppose that this could affect my review.
This was an excellent book. Warren is very down to earth and gives a view of her life in Wasngton from a human point of view. Her writing is engaging and captivating.
She gives a view of politics and finance from the citizen's perspective. She appears to understand middle class views and desires. A lot of this is because of her foundation. Her parents were working people who did their best for their kids, but nothing was handed on the silver platter! Elizabeth Warren went to community college, for $50 a semester. She then used loans and scholarships to go to law school. She taught children, but then she taught law school. She became well respected because of her drive and determination for the people.

Ms. Warren talks about the different committees on which she served, and she talks about how she got involved in the Senate race to start with, but she doesn't let the fact that "politics" was a big part of her life consume every other aspect of herself. She brings Washington and government to life, and she gives some history of the whole financial environment of the US. She points out that different programs and procedures, like bankruptcy, used to be not only a final option, but a helping hand. They were designed for people, not for the banks. The whole government and society appears to be changing, and Elizabeth Warren is doing her best to stick up for those who need support. Her point is that everyone should have, deserves, "A Fighting Chance", and they used to! We need to get back to the original GOALS of our country, because they seem to be slipping away.
