Has anyone read Howard Dean's book yet.
I plan on getting it soon.

I read the intro on his website and it seemed good. (Great, in fact, because he practically compares Chimpy to King George III very well).

1. Just started it...
What I like: Some funny recollections about dating Judy, interesting "backstory" and details about his early days in VT politics and time as Gov.

Don't expect any flowery language or melodramatic scene-setting. He writes like he talks - like a doctor. Mark Twain he is not. :-)

3. A review on two new Howard Dean books...

...not quite the hit-piece the NY Times did on Clark's book, but still not real flattering. But I plan to read it.

4. I don't think I'd call that a book review, but...
it was a bit sketchy, that's for sure. The criticisms are incredibly forced.
