This review is from: John McCain - A Man of Straight Talk (Biography) (Paperback)
This is just a light overview of McCain's life. Save your money and read the Wikipedia article about him. It contains the same information. And this book just randomly leaves out the first letter of words. No rhyme or reason behind it. Aren't books supposed to have editors? this isn't just a one time occurrence, it is throughout the book! just poor workmanship.

I am little surprise that for a small book it had very big letters to cover the pages. If you want a very very quick read and just the fact about McCain this book is for you.

John McCain is going to be the Republican nominated Presidential candidate. It is important to know all we can about the candidates, and this book is helpful in understandng his life and beliefs. I enjoyed the information on his military career and also have become more well educated on what he has accomplished as a United States Senator. I most of all enjoyed reading this book, and have shared my copy with friends.
