Engaging

This is a collection of interviews with Joe Biden. The introduction is by MSNBC’s Mike Barnicke. A sample of some of the interviewers are: Jenna Bush Hager, Al Roker, Melinda Gates and Janet Napolitano. These interviews took place after the publication of his book about the death of his son, Beau. This book is interesting and Biden is a natural storyteller. This is a good book to read as Biden may decide to run for president. Through these interviews one gets to know Biden a bit better both as a person and a politician.

The book is five hours and twenty-two minutes. Biden does a good job narrating the book.

Great - but too much repetition of same stories

Since this is a collection of excerpts from about 25 interviews and talks given as part of his book tour, the questions and answers are repeated ad nauseum. While the attendees of the events are hearing them for the first time the reader (or listener) of the book is hearing the same thing rehashed time after time. I would rather the editing hadn't been so severe. I would have rather heard longer excerpts from fewer interviews, then the painfully short, infinitely repetitive ones selected here. Just read the book "Promise me, Dad" instead.

AFFIRMED AND MAGNIFIED MY RESPECT FOR HIM

With regularly negative reports re POTUS and now Kavanaugh in the USSC, this was REASSURING!

A Very Different Book

I really enjoyed reading "Conversations With Joe" I felt that there was still some sanity in Washington D.C. something very refreshing from everything we hear in our everyday lives.

President Joe Biden

I loved it. I enjoy listening to him. He's so warm, funny, & compassionate. Very good.

Good, left me wanting more

I like the refreshingly funny truth of the life of Uncle Joe Biden. Our next President

Inspiring

What a sweet humble man. I took away several memorable quotes that i will add to my mantra.

A fantastic book

A book that I found to be so great. I found this book to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be worthwhile and really relatable. I further highly recommend this book.

I've always loved Joe

It's no secret that I love Joe personally - we don't always agree politically but that's never stopped me from voting for him. He's an incredible man who has done incredible things with his life. Some of his stories are repetitive but I think that comes with being asked the same things over and over again so they get answered without being prompted. Hearing Joe talk about Beau is heartbreaking and beautiful. I'm going to have to get the book now, because this family has meant so much to me over the course of my adult life and I'd be remiss if I didn't learn even more.

Another great Joe Biden book

This is a great audio book. it's perfect for the format because Joe is talking to us as he does a book tour around the country. I recommend it highly for those who want to know the heart, or backbone, of Biden.
