Review of 'What Happened (Really) to Hillary Rodham Clinton - The Actual Evidence Supporting Her 34 Reasons for Losing the 2016 Election' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
My first run at this book was when I borrowed the audiobook from the library. At times it came across so whiny that I tuned out a bit and missed a lot of detail. I decided to give it another shot and borrow the Kindle edition to pick up what I missed.
Both formats have their merits. When Hillary is being sarcastic the audiobook can be bitingly funny. A print format is better for when she's presenting data. My opinion of the book went up slightly after a reread of the more data-heavy chapters. I still think it would have been a better book had she waited. Over time her anger and frustration may mellow to the point where it doesn't overwhelm the stronger aspects of the work. Four stars might be more generous than I really feel but the book merits more than 3 based on the historic aspects of an insider's view of a political campaign.
