The Onion is proud to present The President of Vice: The Autobiography of Joe Biden. In this scandalous memoir, America's favorite politician discusses his early years, before he became ultimate wingman to the leader of the free world. For the first time ever “Diamond” Joe discusses the formative experiences of his life, including his childhood selling hooch in Scranton, his years cruising college campuses picking up co-eds in a Del Rio, the grade-A tang he plowed in the summer of '87, and his "sweet ass gig" as Senator of Delaware. Speaking of his own work, Vice President Biden says, "Amigo, you're just one click away from buying Uncle Joe's tell all autobiography. My sweetest guitar riffs, bustiest lays, wildest benders, and sexiest appropriation bills, it's all in there. You'll not only hear about me and my buddy Barack, but I guarantee you'll pick up some tricks that'll serve you well in the sack. Plus, I'm deep in the hole right now and really need the scratch."

Well written, solid prose, but a few glaring omissions - reluctant 5/5

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

At times terse, other times lyrical, Biden has a flare for wordplay, as his prose shines in this autobiography. He maintains a taught prose throughout this narrative, keeping the reader engaged in his sexual and political exploits, with the necessary amounts of humor dabbled in to lighten moments of tension.

As great as all that sounds, I was hesitant to give the book five out of five stars, as he failed to mention finger banging Barbara Bush in the White House bath tub while George Sr was hosting a White House Correspondents Dinner in 1991. Seeing as the incident made national news, I felt like he should have at least given his side of the story.

Also, he completely omitted any mention of his brief stint following the Dead in '78. I understand he fell off that train and became smitten with Crotch Rock in the early 80's, but still; that Red Rocks stand in July was nothing short of mind bending.

Despite leaving out a few key stories, this first hand account of one man's rise to political power, while leaving a scorched earth of shredded pussy along the way, is a gripping read that you won't be able to put down.

Second Banana, Top Dog

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

This perceptive political autobiography takes the notion of being "second banana" to a whole new level. Obviously a ploy to pave the way to a 2016 Presidential run, the compelling tale of Joe Biden's rise from humble log cabin beginnings to lead the Union army to victory over the South is a tale for all generations. Best read accompanied by a tallboy sixpack or perhaps any single mixed beverage as described in the chapter "Joe's Killer Cocktails", several of which will blind you for days.

Not for the faint of heart, or any other internal organ for that matter.

One quibble: Joe obviously holds back the real dirt out of deference to being one heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world, and I'm not talking about the White House, if you catch my meaning. This reviewer can only hope that a PRESIDENT Biden will have the freedom to let it all hang out and that the inevitable Joseph R. Biden Jr. Presidential Autobiography will pull no punches.

funny book

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

The other reviewers are correct -- this is a one-joke book. But I didn't get tired of the joke, perhaps because I read this book in several sittings over a long period of time. For me it was a low-risk purchase -- the Onion's online jabs at Biden never fail to crack me up.

Terrible

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm a big fan of the Onion, and I've loved all of their Biden articles. But this hastily slapped together piece of garbage is not worth buying. The Onion's Biden articles are funny because they present the Vice-President in a ridiculous manner which feels like only a slight exaggeration of his real personality. The book makes two mistakes in this respect. One, he is much more ridiculous, and two, because most of the book is concerned with his life pre-White House, it's easy to forget that he is Vice President while reading. It comes off as more of a generic rock star autobiography. Another problem is that the regular articles are written in the tone of a real newspaper, as all of the Onion is. This piece of crap is, as noted about, like a first person autobiography. The satirical element is gone. The worst part of the problem is, the jokes aren't remotely funny. Don't buy, not worth the $2.99 they charge.

Fun in small doses

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love the Onion. It's a lot of fun to read. This book is the same style, but it just gets old after a while. Basically it's just stretching out the jokes about Joe Biden to the point where it becomes repetitive. Still, fun read for when you have 5 to 10 minutes to kill.

Awesome for fans of The Onion's "Uncle Joe" character

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of The Onion and the "Uncle Joe" Biden character especially. The mixed reviews here on Amazon made me think twice about getting this Kindle Single, but if you like what they've been doing with Biden, you'll love this. Don't let the mixed reviews dissuade you. It's all new material, not a rehash of the dozen or more stories you've seen already on the Onion. The book (or whatever you call a 'single') is organized as a series of loosely connected essays and bit, and the majority is text-only, so it lacks the usual Onion-style catchy headline and photoshopped pic. Bottom line, hilarious, assuming you love this sorta humour.

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm surprised that the vaunted Onion would put its label on this meretricious piece of tripe. PRESIDENT OF VICE portrays Joe Biden (and by insinuation every Irish Catholic man) as a drug-addicted lecher. Biden's with-it lifestyle has one defect, namely, his subtle, too-hip-to-be-called-racist, condescension (think Wooster and Jeeves) toward his smarter associate Barack who masterminds the capture of bin Laden. Never mind that not everyone thinks killing a marquee terrorist and casting his body into the sea enacts the American Constitutional vision of due process let alone justice for terror's victims. The choice of Joe Barrett to narrate is mystifying; he sounds as much like Joe Biden as Click the Tappet Brother sounds like JFK. The one saving grace of a satire whose principle virtue is so predictable a litany of cliches that one can savor the entire contents simply by reading the first sentence of each chapter, is the list of Biden's Awards: Who wouldn't treasure an award from La Quinta?

So Much I Did Not Know

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

I found myself quite surprised by this book. The vice president of the United States has lived quite a different life than I would have thought. I learned so many things that not only I did not known - but I would not have expected. I would detail some of those, such as his exile in Mexico, but that would spoil the reading for you, the potential reader.

I am glad and proud that this man is our vice president, and I think his experience brings a unique - needed - perspective to our government, one I am certain is rarely represented in the upper reaches of our government.

My kind of humour

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was travelling and saw someone post on Twitter about this, as it was under £2 figured it wouldn't be a big loss even if I didn't end up liking it.

Well, I was not disappointed at all. The writing style is light and the jokes although being a bit black are mostly funny. You shouldn't (obviously) take it too seriously as TheOnion isn't known for being the most historically accurate publisher ever.

But if you'd like to get to know fun loving, albeit cash strapped, Joe Biden better this is a very good place to start.

The book is worth every penny, just don't consume hot beverages near your kindle when reading this.

The worst book I've tried to read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

So bad I couldn't read it all giving up half way through. If you didn't know better you would swear this book was written by a teenage adolescent boy who was trying too hard to impress. I can't believe this man is Vice President of the U.S. he comes across as a complete moron and the book is an insult to the intelligence of the reader.
Just as a final note you cannot give this book a no-star rating I know because I tried, so, anyone reading my comment please understand I really rate this book minus 5 Stars.
