"Great insight, long winded"
I specifically chose this book based upon the fact the author read it.
The insight provided by Secretary Rice about her time in Washington was incredibly informative, however like her experience in the city was very different for each term, the book has 2 very distinct flavors. At times, I felt Ms. Rice was overly eplanatory of details and situations that could have reduced the length. I will definitely read this book again, but I may skip a few parts the 2nd time around.
