A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety by Jimmy Carter

4.0

Poor Jimmy Carter was an unsuccessful president in many people's estimation, but in his life post-presidency he has been a great humanitarian. I've grown to admire him for his accomplishments and his humility, and this book added to my respect for him.

That said, however, his writing is amateurish, and that gets old. He has illustrated the book with prints of oil paintings he has done, and they're kind of embarrassingly basic. Also, he intersperses prose with poetry he has written, and the poetry is really bad.

So it's not great lit, but it's interesting to learn about Jimmy Carter.
