Summary: an honest somewhat sry account
Comment: i wanted to give this a higher rating but although there are some interesting anecdotes throughout the book, i think the writing style leaves a lot to be desired. the author has an immense amount of material to draw from but the results here are mostly wanting. i would have likes to have read more about his encounters with the press when he ran that room and some more of his back and forth with gore and hillary. he skims the surface--maybe with the intent for another book inthe future.

Summary: Very Pleased With This Honest Account
Comment: Bravo George!
It's a very interesting look into the White House and the
intelligence and political finesse it takes just to survive!!
I felt that George was being very candid when trying to
discribe his love/hate relationship with President Clinton, and in the end having to painfully evaluate him as a very flawed
man. The book also shows Hillary Clinton, James Carville, Bugala
and others (including Dick Morris) in an interesting light.
Loved the book...felt like I was in the White House myself!!

Summary: Human Indeed, and admirably so
Comment: From the start of this book, you will develop an admiration for Mr. Stephanopoulos. He is a quixotic man, a man of ideals, who was brought up by a religious family. So he was raised to live life by a certain morale which he never forgets, regardless of where his work leads him. His passion for politics takes him from one intriguing job to the next, until he establishes himself in fame as President Clinton's senior advisor for strategy. The essence of Mr. Stephanopoulos's book is about the whimsical rollercoaster ride, otherwise known as the Clinton Administration. The author portrays an accurate description of key figures of the White House. He not only pinpoints the pecadillos of his colleagues, but those of his own as well. Despite of the fact that he admired President Clinton as a leader, Mr. Stephanopoulos seemed to always have quandaries about the President's personal ethics. The author had his dream job, and the opportunity to constatly voice his thoughts on the public forum. However, as you read his story, you will learn that his personal morals precluded him for continuing with the job. I got the impression that had he been working for "a gentleman President . . ." such as George Bush or Jimmy Carter, chances are high he would have continued with his job for a bit longer. His retirement from the Clinton administration was well deserved; it lead him to more worthy jobs, that require more objectivity.
If you are a regular viewer of ABC's "This Week", you will most likely agree that Mr. Stephanopoulos is brilliant. This book will augment your admiration of him, not just on an intellectual level, but also on a personal level. Hence, this book is appropriately titled. The everyday reader will have no trouble relating to Mr. Stephanopoulos's work and personal ethics
