John Kennedy (33) (1951–)

This book was hilarious and surprisingly smart. John Kennedy’s humor is spot-on — he tells it like it is and doesn’t hold back. It’s full of funny one-liners and common-sense takes on how crazy politics can be.

Honestly, the audiobook is the way to go. I loved listening to him speak — his delivery makes all the jokes and stories land perfectly. He even mentions that his dogs think he’s cool… and I do too, John, I do!

Bottom line: This book delivers exactly what it promises — a show more sharp, funny, and real look at politics. It’s not a deep policy guide and Kennedy’s opinions are clear, but that’s part of the fun. If you want to laugh, shake your head, and think a little about how politics really works, this is the one to pick up — especially as an audiobook. show less

John Kennedy has long been my favorite politician in the United States Senate. His ability to say what people are thinking in his own signature way is one of the things I love about him. I was just saying to someone not many months ago that if he wrote a book, I'd be reading it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he had in fact written a book. So, I ordered it...and waited...and waited. Amazon just couldn't keep copies in stock and I was pushed back a month from the time I ordered show more it.

Let me tell you, the wait was worth it. This book was everything I hoped it would be. Kennedy details his early life, his law practice, and his entry into politics. He talks about some of the crazy characters he's encountered in both state and national politics. And he talks with candor about his frustration with bureaucratic red tape that stalls things and keeps America in limbo.

I think all people, Democrat and Republican and everything in between, will enjoy this. If you're a Democrat and are worried about Kennedy being a Trump loyalist, I can assure you that he's not. He knows his own mind and votes with his heart. And that means being at odds at times with President Trump. Republicans already like Kennedy. This book will make you like him more.

Do yourself a favor. Listen to the audiobook as well. Hearing the stories in Kennedy's own voice just completely adds to the experience. If you've ever heard him interviewed or tell a story on the news, you know what you're in for.

Highly recommended! show less
