Summary: A laugh out loud , lively and poignant read
Comment: Barbara Bush: A Memoir is an insightful peek into the former First Lady's life, from childhood to the White House. There are stories that will make you laugh out loud (such as Bush Sr peeing out of the window so he wouldn't wake up his mother-in-law when using the bathroom at night) and stories that will make you cry (such as Robin's struggle with leukemia). Mrs. Bush also includes brief histories, as well as her thoughts, of people she's met: ambassadors, prime ministers, dictators, and a seemingly never-ending list of major figures in every industry.
Mrs. Bush is an avid reader and a great lover of books so she'll sometimes mention some of the books she's read at certain points in her life and whether she liked them. Her warmth, honesty and humor shows through in her writing. Her fierce loyalty and dedication to her family is very obvious.
I highly recommend this book. Not only is it a fun and interesting read, it also gives us a view of history from the eyes of someone who has had a front-row seat in the theater of recent world events.

Summary: I choose to love it!
Comment: I was 18 when Bush ran for office in 1988 and that was my first election to vote in. Needless to say, I voted for George Bush. I only wish I would have paid closer attention to his presidency then, because all dignity, grace, and respect left the White House with Barbara and he. Barbara Bush tells the story about a good life with no apologies. Everyone strives for the American dream, but few people enjoy it once they possess it. As a mother of three now, myself, I can appreciate her willingness to love and support her husband and family. I appreciate that she is a self realized person in her own right and was never threatened by, nor felt she had to compete with her husband's success. I loved being introduced to "Bar's" George Bush. Here is a loving husband, devoted father and grandfather, and a decent human being. Most of all, I appreciate the words she repeats several times in her book... "In life, we can choose to love what we do or hate it, I choose to love it" This book is very inspiring and should certainly pull the reader out of any depression or slump he may find himself in.
Finally, I will be voting for another George Bush next month!

Summary: A Warm and Interesting Look
Comment: After reading this book, her husband's second book, and finally her second memoir, I did have a profound respect for her dignity, love for her family, and stamina. This book was an easy read and was absolutely fascinating to go along on exotic trips and learning about the side kick's day to day existence as wife to President. The book made me admire the Bush's as a couple more, the love for their kids and each other, and their principles, even if I did not agree with all of the latter.
