- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5this book is a bit gossipy rather than a factual, dry read but is fun
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Review timing note: I'd meant to read this for quite some time and it came to the top of my TBR. It fell during the time of the election, but I didn't plan it that way.This book covers the lead-up to Obama's second term through 2013ish. It reads fast - it's kind of a pageturner as these things go. It does have sort of a gossipy-insidery feel to it, but (IMO) that's delivering exactly what you want in a book like this. I feel like it peels back a little of the veneer from the Clintons and Obamas both and observes all four - and some of their advisors - through a more critical lens than we typically see from the media.Who fares the worst depends on your starting point going in. I felt like I gained insight into the Obamas individually, as well as a couple well beyond their carefully and closely managed press appearances and coverage.Though many of the sources don't speak on the record because of the closeness to the situations and people involved, this book had the ring of truth to me. Unlike, say, celebrity gossip where the anonymous person quoted is a person who went to the same high school as the celebrity before they were famous, but not at the same time and didn't really know them, this attributes specific quotes to specific people. Only someone in the room at the time and very inner circle could do that, which narrows down the potential sources considerably. Because I assume this book had to have been written in a way to be legally defensible against slander/libel, I presume much of it is, in fact, accurate - or accurate enough. If you're interested in a less than picture-perfect perspective on the political machinations of the Obamas and Clintons, give it a try. I haven't read any of the author's other books, but I'm now interested and would love to read the backstory of the 2016 campaign if/when the story is told.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As a work of political intrigue, this is first rate; as a work of political history, well, who knows? The author admits that very much of the "meat" of this book is based on sources who have refused to be identified, allegedly for fear they might be shut out from one source or the other . The reader is then faced with the decision of accepting the word of these hidden sources. In some ways, it is a scrapbook of headlines that are fleshed out in one way or another. All in all, it is a fun read, not because it is less than complimentary for either family, but because of the structure that has been erected to support the reputations.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas by Edward Klein is hot. Touch with care. OMG what goes on within each of these families is awesome. They all come off as disgusting and evil though the Clintons believe it or not more so than the Obamas who are no angels. This isn't so much politics as it is a look behind the curtain at these four characters. It is not a pretty sight.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is like the National Enquirer of politics. Gossip is substituted for facts. Don't waste your time.
