Hearing this book, I could almost imagine that Bill Richardson is sitting over in the corner telling me stories. He reads this abridged version of his published memoir smoothly, and makes the listening most enjoyable. As in most of his public life, he takes a positive point of view on events and people, and when there's something negative to say, he does so simply and directly, without rancor. Richardson is one of my most admired Americans, and being reminded a little more about his background and work history only intensifies my respect for him.
