This was a hard read—mainly because I wasn’t all that interested in the political side of things and all the name-dropped didn’t do anything for me. …I was also a bit disappointed that HRC was portrayed as a wonderful practically perfect woman without a flaw (expect for getting pneumonia at an inopportune time). She likely is the wonderful capable person presented in this book, but it felt like I rather flat portrayal of a very public figure. someone isn’t a hero simply because of all of their positive qualities, but because of what they do with both their faults and strengths. I picked up the book because of Huma’s marriage and experiences married to a sec addict. Those aspects were handled, quite sensitively and with grace, but not really to the extent the review I read indicated it would be dealt with. Overall an interesting book but I certainly would not have complained if it were 100 or 200 pages less.
