A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety by Jimmy Carter

4.0

Short Review: I like this more and more as I think about. Although I don't want to over play it too much. Carter can get a bit pedantic when he is talking about policy. And some of those parts really show his weaknesses. But the majority of the book really is interesting. He talks about politics but it is in context of his broader life. And he has had an interesting life. He is of a generation that has had an incredible cultural changes. When Carter was born, electricity, cars and a variety of other modern conveniences were either not present or not widespread. So we get a sense of his childhood and the rest of his life. This is a good overview of his life if you have not read other memoirs or biographies.
