Hillary Rodham Clinton's inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America's 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future. In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I love Hillary and would love for her to find a better voice that would give me a glimpse of humanity and what is like being a woman I'm a man's world. I see that she tried to weave that thread but didn't do it for me. Should have written the chronicles of Chelsea's mom. I want more of you Hillary not just what you've done all over the world, I know you can do that better than anyone, and I would support you again.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I'm up to date on the world from the person making foreign policy, for that I'm grateful.
Did Kathleen Chalfant and Hillary Rodham Clinton do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I am not sure, I enjoyed the part read by Hillary herself more. Some names were mispronounced. Could be I had them wrong but I don't think so.
Did Hard Choices inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to really work on my voice in my writings.
Any additional comments?
I felt empty, I feel like I didn't get to see the real Hillary. Sorry Hillary, I love you and what you stand for but had a problem with your writing. I wanted more of you. Enough said.

Join leading experts as they explore the world of the esoteric. Adrian Gilbert (a best-selling author of numerous books on the subject) leads us through the mystery of the Rosicrucians, uncovering many new insights and revelations. This secretive brotherhood emerged seemingly from nowhere with a sacred message for those with the eyes to see it. Their message is just as relevant today as it was in ancient times, and Gilbert re-introduces us to their teachings.

Short and shallow

The lecture if you want to call it that was short and without depth. I was looking for the audio book I bought but it never materialized. Don't waste your money.
