- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty basic book about the life of former President Jimmy Carter and his family. That being a former President comes with really cool perks. It is not a hard hitting book but does pull back the curtain a little on what a former President does after leaving the office.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Jimmy Carter was president back in the years when I really didn't take much interest in who was leading our country. I was in elementary school and honestly don't think I cared much for him, mostly because I thought he had a funny southern accent, which seems very superficial of me, even as a kid. Nowadays, I wish I'd paid more attention. I think he was one of the good guys and it's a shame we can't say that about most of our political leaders these days. I've not read any of Carter's other memoirs, although he has apparently written quite a few. I didn't really know much about his personal life, other than the peanut farming business, so it was nice to get some background and learn some personal information. But as a memoir, and as a book in general, the only word that really comes to mind when reading this, was that it was very "dry." Perhaps it was because Jimmy himself read the audio & maybe another reader could've given it a little more life. Or maybe not. I'm not sure. Overall, a fairly interesting and informative memoir, but definitely not the best I've read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Nice stories, but jumped around, and did a little political bashing, I could have done without. Some stories were repeates from other books
