This is one of the best books I have ever read, George Bush does an excellent job telling the stories of his childhood, his youth and his presidency.
He tells the story of how his little sister Robin, of whom he barely speaks, died of Leukemia when she was three. How he was called out of class, had to wait by the front of the school for his parents and how when he in the car, they told him she died. That was the first time and only time he ever saw his parents cry, but he didn't understand why.
Another he tells is during his drinking days. At a party he asked a family friend how sex was over fifty. She was flabbergasted and the party quickly broke up after that. When he turned fifty, she had the good sense of humor to send him a note saying "Well George, how is it?" It was something he regrets, but soon after that instance he went and seeked help for himself.
This man had the hardest job in the world, but remained firm and incredibly classy throughout his terms, and it was an honor to read his story.
