This review is from: The Starr Report Complete With the President's Rebuttals September 10Th-12th, 1998: Complete With the President's Rebuttals, September 10-12, 1998 (Paperback)

The Starr Report is something that, once read, you do not easily forget. I first read the lengthy report in 1998, days after it was completed. I found it to be absorbing, VERY detailed and quite fascinating. Does it intrude upon privacy? Absolutely. Did that make me want to read it any less? No. All in all, I think that the report is something that should be read by anyone wishing to learn about the private lives of Presidents and the people who work for them. This edition is notable because it contains the full report, along with both rebuttals from the Clinton lawyers. Other editions contain only the preliminary rebuttal, due to the fact that they were rushed to publication.

The Starr Report is very well written- despite its overly detailed accounts of the most intimate moments between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. The attention to detail given the report by Ken Starr and his investigative team is commendable. It takes a lot of patience, intelligence and experience to produce that kind of work. Everything flows well and ties into everything else. It is a perfectionistic dream. The footnote sections of the report would garner a perfect evaluation from the most demanding English professor.

The report also goes a long way toward setting a tone for the reader. You feel like you are right there, in Washington DC, listening in on the conversations of the most powerful people in the nation. A reprieve from normal reality, you might say.

Bottom Line: This report/book is not for everyone and it DOES push the envelope as far as disclosure of intimate sexual acts are concerned, but go ahead and read it (guilt-free) if you want to.
