By far the best of the Buckley biographies out there.

I actually liked much of the story, except the romance part of it. I like the romance of the "second lead couple" better than that of the "stars" of the book. The story of how the widow of a coniving televangelist overcomes the strong prejudices against her in the small town where the minister lived was interesting and that part of the book was well written. Maybe I'm just too staid for the hot and heavy scenes; I don't need the graphic detail (but that's part of the point of the romance genre, isn't it?). It got an extra star for the humor and toughness of Rachel.

this is hilarious as well as nostalgic and informative, recommend especially for boomers. listened to author narrate audio CD

I had to read this for my neurobiology class last year, and at first I was like LAME a little textbook in novel form, but it's not like that at all. Some stories are preceeded and/or followed by technical stuff (that is also interesting, if you're into that), but the whole thing is just all these clinical cases the guy has seen. And it's not in clipboard style either. They're all short stories; some are funny (the title story guy really mistook his wife for a hat); some are understandably a little more sad, like a guy who thought he was still a soldier in the '50s or something, and didn't understand why he was in a home. It's insightful, if nothing else.
