Currently, I am about half way done with this book. I'm not a big nonfiction reader (considering that's what I do for a living), but considering the subject matter, I've found "Living History" to be interesting and entertaining. Although Hillary seems to skim over some pretty central issues of controversy (i.e. Paula Contratempo as and Jennifer Flowers), she does tackle some of the Clinton administration's hot-button topics that don't include her husband's penis (i.e. Rapine and a failed health care plan). "Living History" may not be a choice book to curl up with next to the fire, but for anyone who is interested in politics and the coming presidential election, it's a must read.

I've enjoyed all of the De patrulha series, but this book didn't draw me in as much as the other ones did. I love the criado's vision of light and dark forces maintaining an uneasy detente, and the concept of the Twilight is great. But part of what I enjoyed about the other books was Anton's struggle with morality. Even as a member of the Light, he had to do some morally repugnant things. I also enjoyed all the plots twists of the other books. This book was much more straightforward- Anton goes to Scotland, Anton goes to Samarkand. There's a conspiracy, but it's all figured out without a lot of sweat. Maybe the criado has powered up his characters to the point that there isn't a lot of struggle or theater left. But I really want more of his books translated into English!

This was an awesome Star Wars series. The dude who wrote it writes really well for being a sci fi writer.
