It was pretty good. I appreciated the background information it gave of Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, because I didn't know many of those facts and my guess is that most Americans don't either. It also gave good coverage of some of the biggest decisions made during his tenure as governor. However, I too thought the writing was average and it was kind of jumpy. Glad they approached the Mormon issue though, although that hasn't played a huge role since the whole Rev. Jeffress thing, so maybe people are getting over it.

Excellent information. I had wavered in my support of Romney over the past four years, but this book answered every single one of my concerns in a way that I once again feel that Mitt Romney would be the right man to serve as President of the United States. No matter how you feel about Romney, it is your duty to be informed BEFORE you vote for anyone. I hope you'll read this short book and decide for yourself.

This book was apparently written during the last politcal presidential cycle (2008). But, since Romney is in it again, a friend discovered it on the bargain book table and loaned it to me. I did find it interesting to learn a little bit more about him, and helpful to learn his personal background, as well as where he stands (or has changed his stance) on some key issues. Now I need to find an equally quick and readable book on Obama.

Could not get through this book. Did not like the writing style. Did gain some insight on Mitt Romney.
