Book Reviews of My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir
Book Review: The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best books I've ever read!
It's so good to FINALLY hear Justice Thomas' side of his life story and the reasoning behind his opinions!
I highly recommend this book!
Book Review: Quite Varied Thoughts
Summary: 2 Stars
I had a number of varied thoughts on this book.
1] One cannot understand what growing up in poor black America is like without either reading this book or experiencing it oneself.
2] He is not the intelligent man that I thought him to be prior to reading this book. I expected a more intelligent read.
3] I was shocked at the extent of his alcoholism.
4] His financial troubles are not just because he had a small salary. I suspect that he had a bit of "drunken sailor" tendecies in spending and did not carefully budget.
5] It is still ahrd to tell whether he or Anita Hill are telling the truth, but I think it is quite likely that he is innocent.
Book Review: There's only one thing that troubles me...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a strong Clarence Thomas fan -- have been since the hearings in 1991. Reading the book only strengthened my opinion that he was unjustly pilloried in the confirmation process. That is until I came to page 276. Read it for yourself -- Anita Hill took a polygraph test that confirmed she was telling the truth. When Thomas was asked whether he wanted to submit to a polygraph, he declined, saying that he didn't want to set a precedent in such matters. What are we to make of this?Book Review: read the story of the most dangerous black man in america
Summary: 5 Stars
This man is the most dangerous black man in America. Why, because he refuses to give power to those people who would tell him how to think and act as a black man. He refuses to buy into the group identity most liberals would expect of him. Presenting his story of why he refuses to give into group politics, Thomas provides all readers with a very important lesson. That lesson is to be true to yourself and your values, regardless of the slings and arrows turned against you. In the process, he treats to a refreshing perspective from a modern politician. It simply is a nice treat to see someone who is willing to live by his own personal views. Its also been real difficult for this man to accomplish this goal. In this book, you are treated to the insights of this man as he deals with the barriers thrown before him while he does this. The like impact on you? I don't know, but for me the impact of this autobiography was to inspire great confidence that with work and faith I can accomplish all I am able. Regardless of your background, the Justice's memoir is a real call to move forward to better yourself and develop your own identity. Read this book and enjoy!!! Book Review: Outstanding Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book that does an outstanding job exposing the tyranny and hypocrisy of the liberal media and the Democrat Party. Would that all Americans read this book so they can better understand and appreciate just how dangerous liberalism and the Democrat party platform truly are.
