About this title: In THE FAMILY, biographer Kitty Kelley once again practices her own brand of page-turner journalism that helped make best sellers of her bios of Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan, Jackie Onassis, and the Windsors--all of which made news because of their sometimes stunning and embarrassing revelations. Kelley is often damned both for her tabloid style and for a lack of identified sources. Yet her readers find her narrative skills and prodigious research clearly evident. For them, she simply has a gift for digging out the dirt, and the courage to tell it. And like a fat lady at a salad bar, she piles ...

"Definitely not an authorized biography of the Bush dynasty, but I found it a far better book than I expected. I was impressed with the breadth and depth of the people she had talked to. It would have been hard for her to have made up the many revelations about the Bushes and how they made their money. As she states, there are people who make money and people who earn money, with the Bushes definitely being the former. No wonder they was so little fiscal responsibility under their reign.
Interesting that Bill Clinton's extra-marital affairs received so much attention, while G.H.'s decades long affair was never mentioned in the press."
"Now that idiot-boy dry drunk Dubya, aka the Worst President in the History of the Universe, is safely out of office and the resulting widespread damage is still being assessed, I said to myself, "Sure, I'll read this hatchet job on him and his whole rotten family - that family I love to hate." Said family includes of course Dubya's bumbling, appallingly politically opportunistic daddy, George Bush Senior; sour-tempered, volatile Bush matriarch, Barbara; creepy brother Jeb; and brother Neil, aka the sniveling inside trader crook, among many others (grampa Prescott, to be fair, sounds like he was a fairly honorable politician, who often voted his conscience - an example none of his relatives seemed to follow). I really enjoyed reading this - author Kitty Kelley's unapologetic, often humorously worded revulsion for much of the Bush clan's antics made it doubly fun for me. People who inexplicably like Dubya (and there are lamentably many of them) will naturally hate this."
"I admit I have not read this cover to cover - but even dipping in and out has left an oily feeling; an uncomfortable family that has had much too much power for our own good."
