Best Political Memoir Yet

Revisado: 08-12-22

For a political junkie like me, this book was endlessly fascinating and I hated to hear it end. Lis Smith’s book is straightforward, well written and the narrator is superb. She involves the reader in the life of a career political consultant, sharing the agony and ecstasy from how it all began and the winding road to earning her chops. Political tales are spun without malice or vendetta. It’s “just the facts, ma’am,” in the hands of a talented writer. I am pretty much a lifelong Republican who has worked for campaigns, U. S. Senators, and as a political journalist. As someone who devours every political novel on the market, I think Lis’s book really illustrates the principle that “you win some and you lose some, but what really counts is how you played the game.” This is the first book that inspired me to write a review.

Yes. I love the raw, penetrating descriptions that really do put you right into the story, into the minds of the characters. You can FEEL the cold, the pain, the emotions.
