An honest first hand opinion of LBJ, December 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: In The Boat With LBJ (Paperback)
I'm a student of Bullion and I found his book just as captivating as his lectures. The book is a very telling personal account of exactly how LBJ was. This book is by no means an autobiography of Johnson. However it does go into detail regarding Bullion's personal encounters with LBJ and his father's professional relationship with the former president. I enjoyed the detailed accounts of Bullion spending time at the LBJ ranch and getting to know the wildlife there. I especially liked the way the Bullion described Johnson's physcial prowess and how Johnson used it against his friends and opponents. This naked account of Johnson by no means glorifies his stay in office nor his rise to power.

DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT ACTUAL INFORMATION, December 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: In The Boat With LBJ (Paperback)
I am a student of Bullion's and I read this book as a part of his lecture. I felt that this book in no way conveys any real information on LBJ but more on what Bullion's mother thought about him. Bullion spends more time talkinga about his grandfathers store and listening to the radio with his other grandfather than he does actually talking about LBJ. This book should be entitled "In the Boat with Bullion"
