yeah this is why he is the most popular gov in floridas history. move there or meet someone who lives there and check it out yourself!

If he wrote it himself, I'm having a hard time thinking it will be a smooth, enjoyable read. Few politicians are also good writers.

No one seems to have given it a good review.

That can't just be politics.

give us your review?

I bought Obama's autobiography in '98 before he ran for Congress and lost. It was a pretty good read. When he ran for president I could have quadrupled my money by selling it on ebay. Since I knew him, I went to Craig Robinson's (Obama's bil) book-signing and bought a copy. It was ok -- my kid's grandma loved it.
After I graduated from high school I have averaged one book buy per month -- that's a lot of books! Each book I own I have read at least twice.

Lots of folks do read. I can't think of a book I bought which was 'written' by someone running for office. D'Souza sold a lot of books, also, and his views are just trash.

I read a lot, but not politician’s books. Seen enough during my working years. Sticking with novels, or mysteries etc.

I have a hard time retaining interest when reading just straight political books even if I agree with what they are saying.

But, yes, there are some great novels out there. For instance, awhile back I read "People's Republic" by Schlichter. Now there was a novel.

His book is titled...“The Courage to Be Free”

I can see why this is a problem for the left. They don't know what "free" means unless it comes in the form of "benefits". Such as free education, free healthcare, free housing...etc.

Although I really like DeSantis, I don't don't read books written by politicians. I'm more into history related books on different subjects.

As far as ".... it got a scathing review from the NYT" and "I can't think of any much-praised books by Republican politicians". Seriously? That should surprise no one.

It the NYT ffs.
