Reviews
The Real Romney pulls together lots of details into a narrative that's absorbing and fair-minded., Kranish and Helman are veteran and well-regarded reporters. . . . They give a comprehensive account of the Bain years -- the greatest contribution of their book., The great service of this new biography is that it humanizes Romney. The authors sniff over their subject with bloodhound thoroughness, dredging up old report cards, housing deeds, and family records and videos. They interview seemingly everyone who had contact with Romney in every phase of his life., Kranish and Helman have assembled a genuinely compelling story and a more thorough record of Romney's life than has yet appeared., A timely, balanced new biography. . . . An impressively researched and thought-provoking portrait of a man many Americans may want to know more about in the coming weeks and months., The Real Romney lays out Romney's story in full and clear detail, including fascinating in-depth stuff about his family's history, showing us a Romney for whom family and faith remain unshakable pillars and who knows that his 'power-ally is money.', Balanced and rigorous reporting on Romney's life and career. . . . The authors are especially good on his close relationship with his father, a three-term Michigan governor who unsuccessfully ran for president in 1968., Who is the real Mitt Romney? This well-researched biography by two Boston Globe reporters offers useful clues., The writers have thoroughly trawled through the would-be-president's history. The book charts the various stages of Romney's polymorphic life in impressive detail. . . . All this is well done. The analysis of Romney's time at Bain is balanced and fair., A fascinating story [that] sheds new light on an elusive subject. . . . It illustrates well how in his private life and in business, he has relied on a tight, protective circle all his life., ' The Real Romney lays out Romney's story in full and clear detail, including fascinating in-depth stuff about his family's history, showing us a Romney for whom family and faith remain unshakable pillars and who knows that his ?power-ally is money.'? ( The Los Angeles Times ), 'Balanced and rigorous reporting on Romney's life and career. . . . The authors are especially good on his close relationship with his father, a three-term Michigan governor who unsuccessfully ran for president in 1968.'

    This book was packaged very well! Definitely arrived with no damage from shipping and in the same shape as described in the listing. There was a leftover portion of a sticker on the back, but for an anthology book, I'm not bothered by this. The book is in really great condition. Shipping was fast, and the price was good for such a book! Thank you so much!
