Críticas:

A book worth reading for its larger drama. With a title that ultimately works like a shiv in the ribs, Mr. Young's book examines what a politician really is: the value of his words... the extent of his feelings of entitlement, the outrageousness of his ego...and the gap between his public convictions and private behavior--Janet Maslin "The New York Times "

Mesmerizing...This is not a political memoir. It's a morality tale with the chill of Hitchcock.--Tina Brown "The Daily Beast "
