PanThe Nation...I found her account fascinating, both for what it revealed about our politics and what it revealed about Clinton ...it seems fair enough to criticize her both for what she says, and how she says it. Really, though, I don’t find the anger that greeted this book at all mysterious ...found her book Clintonesque — by which I mean slippery, self-serving, disingenuous, and ultimately as untrustworthy as any of Bill’s assurances that he feels our pain ... Clinton’s sanctimony is fully on display in What Happened — as is her penchant for special pleading — and never more so than when attacking her chief Democratic rival ...parts of What Happened that struck me as both beguiling and profoundly truthful—particularly Clinton’s moving tribute to the women’s movement...if that’s the Hillary you know, and love, you’ll find a lot to like in this book. But if you are looking for a sense of what next, for either the country or the Democratic Party, look elsewhere.
