Summary: Exposes the greed behind the scandal
Comment: If you didn't follow the case closely, this is the book. If you did, you will find little new
material here. The source notes and bibliography at the back show he did little in the way of
original research or interviews.

Even so, Toobin is a talented and insightful writer. He is
neutral in tone toward the President and in my opinion rightfully critical of the method used by
his accusers.

He clinically exposes the greed of those ruled by a hatred of Clinton and an
eagerness to profit from the hysterical rumors about Clinton. It tells how that greed caused some
individuals to set aside their concern for the country, its laws and the judgment of the citizens
at large.

If so many people didn't lust after a "book deal" the whole failed impeachment would
never have happened. This book will stay on my shelf, but my favorite on the subject of the
Clinton scandals is "Fools for Scandal."

Customer Rating:
Summary: Another "Spin" Job
Comment: Toobin chooses to print the lies endorsed by Clinton supporters instead of the truth. Even a quick
review of the facts of the case show the flaws in this book. Toobin is a man who served briefly in
a U.S. Attorney's office and stole grand jury documents from Independent Counsel Walsh's office when
he worked there.

Summary: God, would you have Linda Tripp hanged?
Comment: For someone who had followed the saga closely, this book gives, simply, the best and the most
complete and the most insightful account of the events. I am so much more sorry for Clinton. Linda
Tripp should be hanged.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Fascinating reading.
Comment: It truly is amazing that as I write this, Bill Clinton enjoys a job approval rating of at 63% in
most polls, while most, if not all of the people who tried so hard to destroy him have fallen, are
disgraced, or reviled.

I'm no big fan of Bill Clinton, but after reading this eye-opener, I
think someone should write another book about Clinton and his enemies entitled: "Still standing
after all they've done."

Summary: Isikoff's book is better
Comment: There's really nothing factually new here we haven't read before....which means the thrust of this
book is Toobin's spin on it all. Frankly, that does not make for interesting reading and it's
definitely not enough to carry an entire book. As you can tell from the other reviews, your own
personal opinion on Bill Clinton will determine how you veiw this book - love Bill, love the book;
hate Bill, hate the book. Still, I imagine even the Bill lovers tired 2/3 the way through this
book.

I think Michael Isikoff's "Uncovering Clinton" is a far better book for getting a handle
on the whole Lewinsky affair.
