natep 's review for:
Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime
by John Heilemann, Mark Halperin
Interesting look into the inner world of the major campaigns of 2008: McCain, Obama, Clinton, and Edwards. About 2/3 of this book is about the primaries and mostly the Democratic ones. Obama came across quite poorly, looking like an arrogant douchebag who thought the presidential campaign would be easy and angry at those who fought hard or did not act his way. Hillary came across very well, surprisingly, with real emotions. Her loss seems attributable to rivalry and infighting, similar to McCain. Edwards was kind of a separate story with no ties to the other three leads. The movie followed the book pretty well.
Strengths: Neutral enough, interesting writing, accurate (?)
Problems: extremely obscure diction and lack of sources (one person in the book actually decried a news source having so many anonymous sources which I think is a problem with the book too)
