Something about Hillary's writing makes it slow going for me, but it's always worth the effort. She owns all the things she did that led to her loss, and does an excellent job laying out all the things that insurmountable and manipulated the outcome. It's clear the writing of this was deeply painful, and in all the ways she sums up how it would be different if she were president, it's painful for the reader too.
This was fantastic and heartwarming and maddening and horrifying all in one. I didn't think I could handle it, but I'm so glad I listened to it.
As painful as I expected. As well written as I expected.
I appreciated her acknowledgements of things she wished she had done differently but I also was glad that she addressed the misogyny that was alive and well in 2016 (as it is now). While I don't agree with her on every issue (I have never agreed with absolutely everything in the candidates I support -- and it makes me scratch my head that this is shocks some folks) , I appreciate her descriptions of her thought processes and why she comes to the decisions she does. There is no question that she is one smart lady and I look forward to seeing what she does next. I hope she can find a way to put her good ideas and drive and passion to work for us.
I"m still with her.

I kept having to put this book down because it was so hard to read her hopeful words. Despite the terrible way Hillary Rodham Clinton has been treated she still rises up and keeps going.
I appreciate her frank discussion of her mistakes and flaws in the campaign, and find that it is easy to move past those and revel in her solutions.
What Happened is a beautiful, heart wrenching book.

Interesting to see things from the inside and Hillary's analysis and suggestions seem reasonable.
I gave this book four stars, simply because sometimes it seemed to get very weighed down in politics and specifics of such. Those parts were rather hard for me to get through. But I truly enjoyed her thoughts and reflections on before, during, and after the election. She seemed very true to herself, and i appreciated her candor and honesty.
I'm not sure I'm rating the book, as much as I'm rating Hillary's decision to and process of writing of it. I hope for the day when another woman running for president does not feel the need to apologize, again and again, and still bear the criticism that she's not accepting enough responsibility! It was a difficult read in the context of what's currently going on with 45, knowing that we were so close to things being entirely different. I could not shake the thought over the 400+ pages that Hillary could have and should have been actively engaged in her first 100 days, not in beating herself up over what she might have done wrong. Democrats -- get over yourselves. Hillary had every right to write this. Onward.
An exhaustive self-examination. It can get a little dry because Clinton loves to talk policy but it was never boring.
It's unfortunate she had to write this book, its unfortunate that the people who need to read it the most will be the people least likely to actually pick it up and will instead dismiss it as BS. If they did pick it up, they'd learn a thing or two about the nuances of the American political system, of policymaking, and of things such as how emails are classified and the facts behind the whole email "scandal". Unfortunately, in post-Trump America, no one is interested in facts.
I give this book 5 stars. It made me so very sad that we have the manchild, Donald "two scoops" Trump in office, instead of someone intelligent, well-spoken, and wouldn't embarrass us on, at times, an hourly basis. I'm sure the ratings will be skewed by Russian bots and internet trolls who haven't read a book since dropping out of high school, but you're always five stars in my heart, HRC. Thank you.
