American Wife

by Curtis Sittenfeld

Great Read. Loosley based on Laura Bush, and W's life - I probably enjoyed this book more after watching Oliver Stone's "W" - the bumbling Bush was present in this book as well.

It made me think about the life of a Presidential wife. How hard it must be to have to compromise, especially if your husband is wrecking the county.

This book's plot moved along, it was a good story in itself even without the Bush tie-in, which is not overstated. I alos enjoyed "Prep" by Sittenfeld - a good new writer on the scene.
