Book Reviews of What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception
Book Review: Everyone's a Hero
Summary: 1 Stars
First, I have to thank Scott McClellan for writing this book at a sixth-grade level; I don't think I would have understood it had he actually used language and syntax geared for adults.
Everyone in Scott's family is a hero. All of them are perfect students, great sports stars and supremely principled human beings. Wow. What a burden it must be.
Yet, despite these heroic beginnings (Scott almost single-handedly changed the entire UT fraternity system! He was president of student council during deseg in Texas and had--I am sooo impressed--a Hispanic girlfriend in 6th grade!), he was all too willing to engage in unprincipled, deceptive practices and then either blames a "permanent culture" that he couldn't undo (try the fraternity thing again, Scott!) or paints himself as a naive dupe. Personal responsibility, anyone?
This book was so self-indulgent, the ooze came off in my hands. I bought this book off a "Get These Books Out of Here" rack at my local library for $1.00. I fear I paid too much.
