Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The New Jersey governor whose resignation made headlines in 2004 delivers a gripping, compelling memoir that offers much more than insight into the pain of being a closeted gay man for more than four decades. Listeners seeking juicy sex-life details will not be disappointed, but this memoir is as much a lesson on authenticity in politics as in sexuality. McGreevey, who is just as candid about New Jersey's politics ("New Jersey leads the nation for mayors in prison"), does a masterful job of weaving a richly detailed chronicle of his own political career with tales of his home and sex lives. McGreevey's narration is relaxed enough for his Joisey accent to sneak out along with spontaneous chuckles, and impassioned when re-enacting speeches or conversations. His passion is clear at every turn: detailing his professional and political accomplishments; offering colorful, vivid descriptions of his mentors; and naming friends and colleagues he lost on September 11. The final three discs, covering his relationship with Golan Cipel, his postresignation depression and entry into rehab, are riveting. This is an important memoir that is sure to resonate mightily with listeners.

From AudioFile
In 2004, after revealing his homosexuality and then resigning as governor of New Jersey, McGreevey went on to do something few politicians do. He wrote and published an autobiography that would expose the extent of his lies to his family, his constituents, and himself. What follows is his history, filled with stories of his humble rise and tragic fall from politics, along with the occasional grandstanding. McGreevey narrates in a dry but sincere tone that sometimes shifts. Whether the fluctuation is emotion or poor sound editing is unclear. While several leaps in the book remind listeners of its abridgment, the overall production maintains the key points of McGreevey's confession.
