A review by bravebutbookish
Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann

3.0

I decided to listen to the audiobook of 'Game Change' as a way of reminding myself that political absurdity is normal, and that we've gotten through it before. But I must confess to being disappointed with this book. I thought it would be less an expose on how the Clinton campaign ultimately failed in the shadow of Obama than an overall rundown of the entire election. However, the McCain campaign information seemed incomplete, almost insignificant compared to the outline of John Edwards' downfall or the hubris of Clinton.

I'll admit it. I wanted more Palin crazy, of which there was surprisingly little in this book. So I think my disappointment stems from my badly set expectations of this title, rather than with the text itself.
