Helpful Score: 3
American Wife is based on the life and decisions of Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States. If loosely based or not is to be discussed by persons that are interested in the Bushs' autobiography.
The book most definitely has its up and downs and surely at times gets downright boring.
Especially disappointing to me was that the life in the White House and the presidency fell way too short and were stuffed with unnecessary information.
The middle part of the book was the best one to me but I didn't find myself caring for the characters which has nothing to do with the whole world knowing the Bushs' but the missing personality in the characters.
What I found beautifully captured are Charlie Blackwell's (George W. Bush) missteps in language. :-)
The questions that I'm asking myself is, the book obviously is not a biography, it is fiction but feels like a biography. As for the fiction part there just isn't enough to go with except that the author is very in favor of the female character.
