Summary: Star System -- Schmar System
Comment: Like the one star fakers, liars and dopes, I have not read this Book ! But I liked the author interview and so am buying it.
Until amazon puts some kind of Proof of Purchase requirement on the ability to review a book, I'll give all the books I am buying five stars so as to average out at least one of the liars.
Review to follow.

Summary: Poor writing betrays a tired rage
Comment: I was hoping to read an informative, yet entertaining study on the history and impact of Hillary Clinton, whom I'm no fan of. But the author constantly digresses into a pendantic rage. And ruminations follow one after another on Hillary's powers and why they should be stopped. Yet she fails to make a case for why one should support or not support her views on Clinton. The final 200+ pages take the reader through a thoroughly boring, month by month overview of Hillary's duties as First Lady. By the final chapters I could barely keep awake.
Rating: 2
Summary: An incompetent hatchet job
Comment: Noonan makes a proforma statement up front that "Hillary could have been a strong and encouraging presence..." but don't be fooled: Noonan had no intention of writing a balanced appraisal of Hillary. This is after all a dyed-in-the-wool Reaganaut who specializes in hagiography of her idol, having written two worshipful books about the Reagan administration. She even went so far as to entitle one "When Character was King," apparently unaware that her hero was reportedly having an affair with Christine Larson, a starlet, at the same time Nancy was giving birth. This is character?
The major failing of this book is that it is all rant and few facts. What really seems to gall Noonan is Hillary's sense of entitlement, allegedly deriving from a secure life of privilege.
To her credit, she doesn't repeat some of the more outrageous charges bruited about by the right wing against the Clintons (murder, drug-smuggling and the like). But most of the other charges are recycled here, frequently with imaginary conversations that are supposed to be persuasive.
If readers want to know what really happened they will need facts, not fictional conversations that Noonan ginned up to discredit Hillary. The best documented case is presented by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons in The Hunting of the President. A primary source for that book is David Brock's Blinded by the Right. If you think Bill and Hillary had ethcial lapses, wait till you read how the Rabid Right practices "politics." Downright scary!
As for The Case Against Hillary Clinton, I'm pleased I got it from the library instead of buying it.
