Laura Bush: An Intimate Portrait of the First Lady

This book is based on interviews with Laura Bush's friends. It reveals friendships that are full of caring, insight, wit, loyalty and sincerity. Laura is an authentic, thoughtful and loving friend as you will learn. She has remained close to her childhood friends throughout her life and no matter what.

In reading this book, your also learn that Laura Bush, loves to clean. I found that we share a love for Clorox and Windex. As another reviewer wrote, "Now, when something around here needs cleaning, I think of Laura's enthusiasm. I find that it is much easier and more fun to tackle cleaning with enthusiasm than to go through it with a dismal attitude."

I liked Laura Bush before I read this book, we share several similarities: we are both only children and we both love to read. This book was an insightful read about a "lovely, witty and gracious" First Lady. She truly is a First Class, First Lady.

This was NOT a biography but a political treatise by a George W Bush apologist

Yes, for my close friends who share a fondness for the former First Lady. She's open, honest and an excellent listen. I've been reading the book but this is much better for me. It could only be better if it were Laura narrating it herself, then we could hear her lovely voice!

I don't think this is applicable in an autobiography.

She brings an easy listen, and helps me get through the book quicker than my slow reading.

I don't have a good idea on this.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

This was an interesting book to me. I normally do not read non fiction, but after I saw Mrs. Bush on Oprah, I thought it would be an interesting read...which it was. I enjoyed that Mrs. Bush read it and seeing things from her perspective. I think she is a bit all over the place in her book and seems to flip from flashbacks to the present, which is a bit confusing, but over all it was worth the read.
