2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, August 2, 2000

This review is from: Al Gore Jr.: His Life and Career (Hardcover)

Although I was assured by a friend that this book was democrat friendly, I picked up this book expecting a lot more depth than I received.

For a former FBI Agent, Hillin did not have much to say about his subject matter or political influences. If one did not pay attention, the style of prose made it sound like George W. Bush. Several times while reading this book, I felt cheated and realized that there was more good public information than Hillin was promoting.

This book has the thickness and breadth of selections in my mother's junior high school library, and considering it's adult intended target audience, is deeply disturbing. Hillin needs to go back and make substaintial additions to this book in order to do his subject justice.

That a one time house member, senate member, presidential candidate, vice presidential candidate and vice president elect of any ideology (let alone one allegedly shared by the author) could garner such shabby treatment is simply appaling and embarrassing. This book is not recomended for anybody.

If anyone wants a new hero, simply meet Hank (Henderson) Hillin. He is am amzing man with an unbeievable heart. He trusts God and leads his family into the light of the Lord. His experiences and stories are surreal. Hank Hillin is my hero and I am preoud of Him.
