Can you rate a book with negative stars? Can you gain back the time that you wasted reading such trash? I know the answers, but still. I live in IL so I thought I should read the book for two reasons 1. I thought it would give me a chuckle, I figured he had interesting insight to what happened and would put a crazy spin on it. and 2. I thought I may end up feeling sorry for him, maybe there was something that the press left out that would show he was really a victim. I was wrong on both accounts. What I found out is Mr. Blagojevich is an egotistical bastard and has never done anything wrong in his life...NEVER! He couldn't stop talking about his wonderfulness and when he did it was to talk about other people in such a harsh, gossipy way that you could do nothing but hate him in the end. Personally, after reading the book I am looking forward to the trial. He needs therapy more than jail, really he is not a harm to anyone, but since the court is unlikely to require therapy, jail will have to do. The silver lining to this, I do not have a copy to swap, did not waste a credit on it, I got it from the library! take my advice leave this one alone unless you feel the need to become angry!
