Some Fun Clinton Stuff!

27. RODHAM by Curtus Sittenfel

Yes, that is a picture of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and it says, “A Novel”. It is hard to say how to approach a fictional book of a living former first lady since much follows history and could be true. Sittenfeld gets away with this by-and I am guessing here-by following her life pretty closely until she decides NOT to marry Bill Clinton. From there on the author speculates what her life might have been like without Bill.

What an interesting idea to take well-known characters, follow them accurately for a time and then fictionalize juicy tidbits and add a new ending. I’m not sure Hillary would have liked it but the romance with Bill was hot and juicy. I enjoyed the author’s writing so much that you can read another of his books next.

25. THE PRESIDENT IS MISSING by James Patterson and Bill Clinton

I thought it might be fun (and authentic) because former president Bill Clinton co-authored this with James Patterson. The story is about a president who went missing (duh!) and was filled with thrills, chills, power plays and high pressure stakes. It was fast moving and fun.
