Y'all are going to bring your preconceived notions and bias to this set of reviews. So I ain't even going to try, anyway, anywhere, no how. Psst. She doesn't suck. Psst. She sucks. Psst. She's Living. Psst. She's History. Psst. She's a Senator. Psst. You believe one or more of those.

Read on, see if the reviews fit your views and act accordingly.

Associated Press - In Book, Hillary Clinton Details Pain From Affair

She recounts two bedside conversations seven months apart. In the first, the morning of Jan. 21, 1998, the president sat on the edge of the bed and told her the Lewinsky story was coming out and it wasn't true.

In the second, Aug. 15, 1998, the weekend before he testified about his relationship with the intern to a grand jury, the president woke her, paced the floor and said there was truth to the allegations after all.

"Why he felt he had to deceive me and others is his own story, and he needs to tell it in his own way," she writes.

Timeswatch - The Encyclopedias of Spin

In two massive tomes you wouldn't want to drop on your foot — Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars," and then Hillary Clinton's "Living History" - we are promised an "inside" look at that tumultuous presidency. We'd be better served if braced to expect about 1,200 pages of spin control and few isolated outbreaks of anything new and positive. After all, is there anything Sid and Hillary would have kept to themselves during their White House years if it made them look good?

The Guardian - Book sellers gamble $8m on Hillary

The book, which took her two years to write with the help of a small team of former journalists, is billed as a "complete and candid" tale of her years as first lady, from her failure to introduce free, universal health care to the impeachment of Bill Clinton over the Oval Office scandal with the White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
