I've been reading this since Christmas-it was one of the first books I added to my new Sony.
It is very slow going, as has been mentioned the sentence structure and repetitiveness make for a slow read. Also, I'm taking the time to Google and look up things as I read to refresh my memory of people & events.
He seems very guarded and I get the feeling he had someone looking over his shoulder as he wrote (the person looking over my shoulder just said "duh, ya think?!")
Anyhoo, he does open up a lot more in the parts that are about his family. I got more of a connection with him as a person and a family man (husband, father, son) but the "Presidential parts" are obviously heavily edited so a bit of a disappointment there.
I would recommend this book but don't expect a tell-all or barn burner of a read, no surprises just a little glimpse of the world of Bush in his own words.
Hope this helps!
