Great “familia “ stories. There is nothing like it—traveling across country without air conditioning with kids, parents, and the abuelos.

History about unfiltered, black and white thinking by the Zealot, but then suddenly a detail about a tender love for his family would come out.

So, this book , written during her 2008 campaign, with her magnificent speech to “all the little girls at home” to continue believe she could be President too. A the 1000 cut in the ceiling. Still love HRC!!!!

I’ve been going through all of HRC’s autobio books, out of order, and I have really enjoyed every one.
This is the first book, where HRC is not the narrator. Hillary’s voice is so appealing to me that it took me by surprise to hear the co-narrator.

16 whales 🐳 were stranded off of a Bahama beach, and the navy didn’t want to talk about the sonar levels, and didn’t accept any responsibility.

Marineland was a place we hitchhiked to when I was 15. We took the Hawthorne Blvd. Route. Marineland turned into a restaurant and hotel complex, Taranea. So there is no chance of now of seeing marine animals unless driving to the Scripp’s Marine Sanctuary and college.

This is a story that I have read and reread many times, but I have always wanted to read Robert K. Massie’s version. So far, stupendous!

The book sure puts an end to gender superiority. Clearly women were the missing ingredient in science circles because the women “take no prisoners.”

A little too-detailed, but I will keep reading. Why? It's the woman who invited the CRSPR, and Isaacson is the author.
