内容説明
In Game Change, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the country’s leading political reporters, use their unrivaled access to pull back the curtain on the Obama, Clinton, McCain, and Palin campaigns.
Based on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story, Game Change is a reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character-driven and dialogue-rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, it’s an intimate portrait of some of the most powerful and fascinating figures in American life—the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of the campaign of a lifetime.

: None None - 2010年3月11日hard to put down
although you know the outcome the stories of what happened behind the scenes of both campaigns were enthralling
: Ohyler M. Russell Dolton, IL USA - 2010年3月10日Reads like a novel
This book, although informative, reads like a novel. You'll have a greater depth of knowledge about the occurrences behind the podiums and speeches in the political arena. It is a true page turner. I felt I knew each person a little bit better.
: David M. Mokotoff, MD St. Petersburg, Fl. - 2010年3月10日Great read but needs dumbing down
For anyone interested in politics, and in particular, the 2008 election, this is a great non-stop read. The authors' abilities to bring all of the characters and players to life is superb. However, beware it you're not an English major. Thank goodness I had my Kindle edtion so I could look all of the uncommon words which the authors appear to hold so dearly in their writing. For example, a lawyer's "mein," and "pilloried" or "gobsmacked." I couldn't read a chapter without seraching the dictionary for the defintion of a verb or adjective. It is more noticeable when laced with the four letter words erupting for the candidates, their spouses, and staff's mouths.
Yet, in the end a good read and real page-turner.
: Anne L. Mendoza None - 2010年3月9日Nothing New
Game Change is a big, overpriced bore. The hype promised delicious new morsels of political gossip and failed to deliver. Details are few and the book is really nothing more than a series of snapshots. In particular, general character assessments are offered without the supporting details. For example, the authors report that John Edwards was dismissed as an empty suit by party Brahmins long before the 2008 campaign. The authors do not explain the basis of this widely held opinion. Nor do they offer any details.
: G. Ware Cornell Jr. Weston FL - 2010年3月9日The Making of the President 2008
Forty eight years after the race depicted in Teddy White's masterful The Making of the President 1960 (Harper Perennial Political Classics) we are given the second best inside look at a modern presidential campaign. From dreams to forays around the country to caucuses and handlers, aspiring candidates pressed forward trying desperately to stave off elimination as their poll numbers plunged or surged depending on events far beyond their ability to control. In the end there should have been only two that mattered, Obama and McCain but even those finalists were buffeted by external events.
Is this any way to pick a President? Had the founding fathers foreseen television, campaign jets and Saturday Night Live, perhaps we might have a king instead.
The fun part of this book, starts and ends with Sarah Palin, who does nothing to enhance her public perception, But it is the pre-Palin accounts, centered around amitious politicians all convinced that their time has come, which give this book its flavor.
