 No Politics Here October 6, 2008
No Politics Here, this is simply an autobiography of the man and his family. Overall I enjoyed it, and got through the book in a matter of days (which is more than I can say for "Audacity of hope"). Despite what people might say here, I came away with the impression of McCain as a main who has his flaws but has come to understand his flaws. I believe intellectual Honesty is one of the most important characteristic a person can develop. I believe he edited out most of the gratuitous aspect of his imprisonment, but one cannot leave without thanking the powers that it was me that was subjected to the punishment that McCain suffered, and for those naysayers and critics, I wonder how we would have performed in those circumstances. The Book is a little choppy in parts and drags a little in parts, but I had no problem with it, and am glad I read it before McCain's Political destiny is fulfilled, and we have to plow through the revisionist versions of his life.
POW October 6, 2008
This is a good book for anyone wanting to know what happens in a POW camp.
 Honor and Heroism Personified October 6, 2008
If Sen. McCain weren't so humble on the campaign trail, and every American knew the story of his life as told in this book, he would be elected in a landslide. This man personifies honor.
Faith of my Fathers October 4, 2008
I found this book so interesting that I had trouble putting it down. It is a true story of honor and three generations of men who truly love/loved our country. It is well written, documented, and very informative regarding true incidences in the McCain family.
Sincerely,
Gerald Graczyk
 Misleading and inaccurate October 3, 2008
3 out of 25 found this review helpful
According to the US Constitution, American presidents must be born in the USA. McCain fails this test, as he was born in Panama, which is a different country.
He fails the test in lots of other ways too. His recent failed attempt to get the Congress to vote for the $700 billion bankers' bail-out bill shows that: 1) he favours the rich against the majority of the American people; and 2) he can't even persuade his fellow-Republicans to support the bill.
And his party, and its policy of backing the bankers whatever, has been mainly responsible for the current economic crisis.
And if he were to die in office (after all, cancer-sufferers do often suffer relapses), Sarah Palin would become President.
