My guess is non Joe Biden fans will avoid this book like the plague, but those who absolutely love Joe will pick this up immediately. This is part- easy biography mixed with little quotes/stories of Joe Biden. I would say it was written for a young adult reader/High School reader, but all types of Biden fans will enjoy this. It isn’t a deep look at this life though, so some looking for a bit of meat might be disappointed. I took it for what it was and enjoyed it. This was an entertaining read and I believe that was what the author intended. It was a brief overview of Joe Biden's life and political career, not at all in depth, but gave you enough of the highlights to get an idea of what Mr. Biden is like. The author is obviously a huge fan of Mr. Biden and I share his admiration for the man as well but I did think he took a light approach to anything that could have been deemed negative. I can't say it was completely a "light read" as Joe Biden's life has been filled with many tragedies. My heart broke just reading this short biography so I cannot quite yet bring myself to read Biden's newest book "Promise Me, Dad" but I came to admire his son, Bo, maybe even more than his father just from this short book. If you are a Biden fan, this is a must-read, and if you are not, I don't think there is enough depth here to change your mind. Overall, it was a very enjoyable read. What an enjoyable, fun, and enlightening read! I loved this book! I loved it almost as much as Leslie Knope loves Joe Biden. Jeff Wilser did a wonderful job breaking down the wit and wisdom from Vice President Biden's life, starting as a child going all the way past his bromance with President Obama. It's not always sugarcoated but it is honest, moving and inspiring. From his personal life to his political career, Joe Biden is a man who lives by his words and actions. It made me re-think everything I thought I knew about Biden and appreciate his contribution to American politics and society even more. A must read!! Jeff Wilser is admittedly a long time fan of Joe Biden, and his appreciation shows in The Book of Joe. I had a lot of fun reading the stories of Joe's gaffs and greatness of heart. Wilser succinctly covers Biden's career and contributions in an agreeable and accessible presentation. He extrapolates The Wisdom of Joe from Biden's life, replete with stories that illustrate Biden's core values. I laughed and had to share stories, and I was inspired and impressed by Biden's character. Wilser does address Biden's errors and faults, yet the man's humanity and warmth shine through in a lasting impression. I read the book in a few days, a welcome feel-good book in a troubled world. The book makes me want to learn more about Joe Biden. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Structured around key moments in Biden's life and career--and filled with Biden-isms like "That's a bunch of malarkey" and "I may be Irish, but I'm not stupid"--this blend of biography, advice, and humor will reveal the experiences that forged Joe Biden, and the lessons we can use in our own lives. Along the way, readers will also encounter fun sidebars on his love of muscle cars, his most endearing gaffes, his bromance with President Obama, and much more. The aviators. The Amtrak. The ice cream cones. The memes. Few politicians are as iconic, or as beloved, as Joe Biden. Now, in The Book of Joe, Biden fans will finally have the definitive look at America's favorite vice president--and what he can teach us. Yet beneath the memorable Biden-isms, the book will reveal an inspirational story of a man who keeps "getting back up." We need this right now. Much as Biden has come back from both professional missteps and personal heartbreaks, sometimes we all have to get back up and fight. Given Biden's reputation as a decent, plainspoken, patriotic statesman of integrity, this entertaining and practical book will be both a celebration of great political figure and an essential guide to creating the America he believes in so dearly.
