I agree: I think it would be an interesting read, regardless of the fact I loathe the man. I mean, I'd love to know what he was thinking sometimes (if he was thinking at all). But I suspect the book has been thoroughly vetted to protect the guilty, and will not be candid about things that matter. Although Bush was quite candid about Kanye West's comments and a photo of him on a plane overlooking the Katrina aftermath as being, respectively one of the lowest points of his presidency and a really big mistake - ignoring of course things like the Iraq war, the Katrina response, the torture revelations, etc. etc. etc. I suspect he actually has no deep insights come to think of it.
Unfortunately I'll have to wait for it to hit the library, because I'll be damned if I'll pay a single red cent for that thing.
