Customer Reviews

Anderson is a great writer

Paul Anderson has a wonderful way with words. He paints great pictures and reveals a personal side to his subjects. This is definately one of his better works.

I love this book...

Janet Reno is sexy. I wanted to know all about her, and this book gave me everything I wanted. Very informative. Did you know that I'm a boxer. I'm champion of my hometown of alvin, Texas.

Sound writting

Anderson creates a very "human" view of our Attorney General. He address many 'rumors' and puts them to rest, rather well. This book is far more educational than One might expect, and delves into the relm of politics. Anderson defines The A.G. as a social reformist, and I think he made a correct assessment of her life long pursuits to make this country a better place. Anderson will have you cheering and praising Janet Reno. I was well pleased with this work.
