My Father at 100

I really enjoyed this book. Ron Jr. does a great job narrating his own work. This is not an in depth history telling account but a personal account and reflection through the eyes of Ron Jr. I highly recommend this book!

Knowing Ronnie Reagan's political views, in advance I had expected a rather critical review by him of his father. Instead, he painted a vivid portrait of his father's fore-bearers and of the circumstances of President Reagan's upbringing and progression throughout his life. As one who lived in California under Reagan's governorship for eight years there and, later, under his eight years as president, and, being myself a progressive liberal, I harbor no fond recollections of that experience. However, Ronnie Reagan's book, at least, better informed me of the events that made Reagan the man and politician that he was and has,thus, softened my outlook on him. Ronnie succeeded in explaining the dynamics of his father and did so in a manner most befitting a loving son's recounting of his experiences with his father, for which I tip my hat to him.

Ron Reagan writes and narrates a compelling story of his father, the 40th president that is meaningful to Conservatives and Liberals alike.

Reagan, a Liberal radio commentator in Seattle has a flair for story and helps us to understand his Conservative President, the icon of the Right, who wouldn't be Right enough today.

This traces the family history back to Ireland so we learn some European history also

Well worth the time and money

I listened to this while driving from New Jersey to North Carolina so it basically was one sitting. It made the trip fly by.

I started out enjoying this book, but the further I got into it, the more bored and annoyed I became with the sneering, whining tone. The book isn't about President Reagan; it's about a son's life-long, unreconciled resentments.
