For all you political junkies, this is a detailed account of the 2012 US presidential election. It gives an insiders view of both camps, delving into complex strategies including preparation and postmortem of the debates. For the casual political observer, it can be a bit daunting at times, offering comprehensive coverage of the process. I found it interesting, recalling the events, especially the first debate in Denver (where Obama was soundly defeated), getting new insights into the strategies and thought processes.

I found it interesting, recalling the events, especially the first debate in Denver (where Obama was soundly defeated), getting new insights into the strategies and thought processes. This will appeal to folks who like to analyze the X's and O's of politics. I feel that the authors leaked a bit of their personal biases at times when they described Obama and Clinton with over-the-top admiration (Full disclosure- I am politically conservative), but overall I think that the book was a fair and interesting retelling and analysis of the behind the scenes action leading up to the election of 2012. *** By coincidence, I was reading this during Christie's "bridge troubles." From how he his described in the book, the bridge-cident isn't surprising. I am convinced that he will not be the 2016 nominee. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

― Mark Halperin, Double Down: Game Change 2012
I enjoyed this book greatly although I think the first one is a bit better. But this is a great political read! I read many political non fiction books and sometimes they are boring, sometimes they are overly long, sometimes they are to gossipy or bland. None of those issues here! The book, like the first installment is a delicious read, brimming with information and is any political junkie's dream.
I am still waiting for a number three. I hope there will be one although with the news cycle being what it is today I am getting a bit burnt out on Political reads. I did enjoy this one though. ( )
