A Long Time Coming by Evan Thomas

Evan Thomas works for the Newsweek magazine and compiled results of some of his reporters into this book about the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama.

A Long Time Coming is the kind of book I sink my teeth into and I finished it within two days.

If you enjoy the behind-the-scenes stories of politicians/celebrities, you will enjoy this book.

I'm a fan of The West Wing television show so this adds to the enjoyment.

Thomas gives us the accounts of what it was like for the Obama, McCain and Clinton campaigns. You get to read about how the people behaved, how they reacted to different things.

No matter what your political leanings, this book exposes some of the more little-known tidbits attributed to presidential campaigns.

5 out of 5 stars.
