Fantastic

Took a little while to settle in with the narrator's voice but once I did it was a great listen

Multi-universes in action...

I like this book and I admire the author so much. It's amazing how she wrote this book as a biography but not a biography at the same time. I really like the idea of making Hillary take different choice from the one she chose in her life "The idea of no marrying Bill Clinton". It's really amazing. Many authors are writing about how multi-universes run simultaneously but in different direction. However, no one (that I know of) explore it really, like in this book. It amaze me, how different life could be if we just decided to change one past decision.

There are some ethical argument about this book. As it includes public figures and it dwell in their private life (Who's sleeping with Whom). The author toke the responsibility to show Hilary and other figures (real people) as any normal characters. Did the author get at least a promotion from the main characters?! I'm not sure but I guess the author herself wouldn't want in that position. Important to mention these concerns are for all the people involved including Bill Clinton.

The author gave example of media cruelty and how it's manipulated by people in power.

This book is Amazing and make me want to read Hillary Clinton biography. I think she is amazing women and if she was elected she will do better than many men who entered the White House.

A strange book

I found this story strange. Maybe I wasn’t quite prepared for this view, or any fictional story about someone’s real life, while they’re alive.

A genius sliding doors premise

The sliding doors premise of Curtis Sittenfelds ‘Rodham’ is clever and captivating. What would happen if Hilary didn’t marry Bill ? You’ll have to read to find out. As a politics buff, this book still managed to change my thinking about things I thought were no-brainers . The made up Trump anecdotes (that are borrowed from real world anecdotes yet set in a new context) made me laugh out loud (and rewind so I can hear again!).

Interesting take on a ‘Sliding Doors Moment’

A good read and an interesting proposition on Hilarys life story. The weaving of the facts through the book make you think about Hilary and her abilities and what a great President she would have been. The story also shows how hard it is for women and how they are judged. Really enjoyed the book, cannot wait to read others by this author.

A must-listen for US politics junkies

I couldn’t put this recording down and found every minute I could to listen to it. Such a clever melding of fact and fictional narrative and had me seeing Hilary in a totally different light. The narration was emotive and fluent. Highly recommended!

Excellent storyteller

I’m sure Hillary will have enjoyed it too. I’ll have to loook at the author’s other work.

Rodham...an alternative present

Gripped from the beginning by this book, "Rodham's" plausability is finely crafted by Settenfeld's storyline & wordsmithing, to provide speculation of an alternative USA, circa 2020.
