I started out enjoying this book. While not denying a modest democratic slant (an opinion that is at least borne out by the facts), it's still a very well-balanced account of all the various Clinton "scandals" and the legal wrangling that surrounded them. The characters involved in the whole episode are well-presented and the story well-told. There certainly is a comic element, as most of the characters - up to and including the President - are utterly hopeless in one way or another and Toobin rather mercilessly runs them down for it.
That said, I just simply lost steam around page 200. The problem is just that the entire story is so utterly banal and sordid. Most of Clinton's adversaries are utterly beyond social redemption. There are relatively few meaningful conclusions that take more than a few incidents and a couple pages to state (one interesting episode is a forshadowing of the Supreme Court's involvement in the 2000 elections, the appellate court that ruled on whether or not a sitting President could be sued split along party lines - with the Republicans voting for and Democrats against, in direct opposition to their traditional positions). After reading some 25 pages of descriptions of Linda Tripp and her taping of the remarkably hopeless Monica Lewinsky, one starts to lose their stomach for that sort of thing.
At any rate, this is an important episode which deserves an honest, straightforward treatment. The only real flaw in this book is that it really is about twice as long as it should be. Still, if you can deal with that, it is recommended.
