Self serving, boring book. I read first with difficulty. I read second chapter with decreasing hope that it would improved as we moved on. It got worse.

Format:Hardcover
Bill really shows his true colors in this book. Thought I would get a good perspective from a former Senator, but instead was subjected to his boorish, egotistical stories. Would not recommend to anyone I liked.

Although this book is not horrible, it was a very marginal read. Once I got half way through the book, I realized how un interesting and delusional the author was, so I did not finish reading it.

Terrible book, terrible author, terrible human being.
Bill Frist is a discrace with his pushing poker legislation that puts law abiding citizens out of a job through a completely unrelated bill. Congress corruption at it's finest.

Narcissistic, Self-aggrandizing, and Trite
This book reinforces for me that the author was a selfish and self-adoring Senator who had no real desire to help anyone. Read more

I still feel sick
After reading a few pages of this book I started vomiting uncontrollably. Unless you want to spend the day with your head over a toilet bowl I recommend not reading it.

Wish I read the reviews before buying.
I read this a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews on Amazon first. The negative reviews are quite accurate. I found this uninformative. Read more

Terrible Book
Probably the most boring book I ever started to read. I got through 2 chapters, and finally had to admit to myself that I just wasted $19. Save your money.
