Toobin is an admirable, knowledgeable, serious, and honest writer.

Well written, thorough, account of Clinton's impeachment. The author's learned comments on the performance of the attorneys involved offered insight and understanding lacking in other books.

Fascinating look inside what really happened with the Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky & the real right wing conspiracy- Ken Starr was not only incompetent, right wing fanatic but not very smart. Jeffrey Toobin writes with authority and great prose.

"Insight into Why the Clintons are Targeted"
Overall 5
Performance 4
Story 5
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would. Bill Clinton is a favorite President of mine. Flawed certainly. Why, oh why just not say "Yeah, it happened. Monica is just ...a really close associate".I found explanation for the numerous and ongoing assaults on the Clintons. Unfounded if you're Liberal, slam dunk proven if you're Conservative. The "truth" is based on what news network you listen to. Which may be the biggest cause of the issues the country faces and has for a long while.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The process leading up to the intimate incidents, up to almost destroying a political career.
Which character – as performed by Kevin Stillwell – was your favorite?
This is a nonfiction narrative. Mr. Stillwell did a fine job in that respect. No one stands out as "favorite". I deducted a star because there is an acoustics issue. I found myself straining to listen and understand. Almost like sound absorbing material is clipping the hard syllables. More a technical thing. Do you hear it?
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I looked forward to listening to Toobin's book. It was a strong event when I watched and read while it transpired.
Any additional comments?
I mention that I'm a Liberal. I think I picked up a pro Clinton slant in the book. A Conservative may argue that it is enough to dismiss the book. In my opinion, there is enough insight and timeline material to explain what happened so a reader can make his or her own judgement. Don't be put off that the first chapter is a list of the players. The story reads in an informative, appropriate pace

Excellent book. Not as fast paced as "the run of his life" but I have to say, this is an incredible ... uniquely American - story that everyone should hear. Puts some enlightening spin on the Clintons and their true motivations as politicians.

I read this book simply because I had time on my hands, but I skimmed though a lot of it. Perhaps it would be more interesting to someone who did not already know a lot of Mr. Clinton's relationships with women.

A 2012 book. Audible, with its usual approach, seems to keep the actual publication date from view. If you're looking for something recent from Jeffrey Toobin, keep looking. The three stars is a compromise between one star for Audible and five for Toobin.

There really was a vast conspiracy and Toobin is excellent at telling the tale.
