Marco Rubio obviously has only just began his career in public service. The book talks a lot about his early life, as well as his political campaigns for the various offices he has held. The writing definitely could have been better. In one paragraph, the first sentence mentions the birth of his son, while the rest of the paragraph has nothing whatsoever to do with his family at all. The book is very political in that it talks a lot about Rubio's positions on some of today's issues. no reviews | add a review

Marco Rubio gives an in-depth look at how his political life was created and proceeded. He discusses his family, up-bringing, education and career. This biography meanders at times but I found his honesty about his family and his life to be quite poignant. Rubio discusses the love he has for his family, the deaths of his grandfather and father (both of whom has great impact on his beliefs and integrity), and his belief in his job as senator. I believe he sees life and politics from a unique perspective and the country is better for having him in Washington DC. ( )
