President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided in early life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public.

Critic reviews

"Clinton's legendary charisma shines through in his reading, making this audiobook a rare treat." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Bill Clinton's reading of My Life is the perfect way to experience the former president's voluminous memoir....Always a compelling, articulate speaker, Clinton is in his element." ( AudioFile)

Easier to listen to than to read

Its a good book and Clinton reading it in own person makes it more real and interesting to listen to. I would have liked Clinton to go further into detail on some issues like the peace-talking in Middle East and the Monica Lewinsky matter. You can feel his frustration at the end of his presidency when the Democrats lost to the Republicans in the presidential election and the votes in Florida were ruled out of favor to the Democrats.

Overall a good book to listen to, an easier listen than a read.

Not very Captivating

I read Tony Blair's and Dick Cheney's book. They give a very interesting story. Bill didn't do justice to the details. For instance how did the Arafat and Rabin meeting go? What were the interesting things? When be heard his Embassy in Tanzania had been bombed, what did he do first? Those details are missing in his book.

Great autobiography really loved the story

very amazing story. A story of one of the best US presidents. was a great listen

Why no Unabridged version?

I was disappointed not to find an unabridged version. I still purchased the abridged version but am still disappointed. However, having Bill Clinton narrate the book is great.

Easy listening

Cannot help to think that Starr was yesterday’s Muller and the democrats are getting their own back.
Nice to Remember that democrats can manage an economy, and that the Middle East nearly had peace and that Al khadia was on the seen before Bush.
Well worth a listen, missed that voice.
