jordanlei 's review for:
A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety
by Jimmy Carter
This autobiography gave me an insight into Carter's strength, will, and resolve, something that is often overlooked in the retelling of his presidency. His work with the Carter Center, in particular, shows his tenacity and steadfastness in achieving his goals. In some ways, it seems like his tenure in the White House was just preparation for the influential work he did, and continues to do, for society.
What I wish I got more out of Carter's book was more of a description of how and why he made decisions; his book reads a bit more like an account of events that occurred throughout his life than a real description of how he made the decisions he did. I enjoyed reading Carter's poetry, which is weaved into the book and follows the narrative nicely. Similarly, Carter's own paintings add a richness to the book that gives more insight into his perspective.
