Book Review: John McCain: hero, father, self-professed diety,
Summary: 4 Stars
John McCain's memoir "Worth Fighting For" is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a great American. Whether it's gardening in the nude at his Arizona ranch, or threatening Arlen Specter with bodily harm, McCain isn't afraid to back down or change his hard-set ways. What I found especially interesting is McCain's often heated arguments with God, over things as important as the SALT treaty, or as trivial as some missing sprinkles on his pudding. Fact is, John McCain doesn't take any b---s--- from anyone, not even the Almighty! Though at first McCain's cursing of the Almighty seemed offensive, I later realized it's just one of the many pieces that make up this fascinating man. Though I don't agree with McCain's claim that he himself is "as good as, if not better than" God, I still feel that he's a true American hero.
