Clarence Thomas' Book on Amazon - Great Reviews!!!
All these positive reviews, when the man said that after his hearing, he didn't know who was the enemy, the liberals who tried to derail his confirmation, or the lynch mobs he feared in his childhood. Just one or two realistic reviews.

If any of you have read it, you might want to go add to the reviews.

1. They screen negative reviews when a book is new. Selling books is their business...nt

2. better book: "Strange Justice"
http://www.amazon.com/Strange-Justice-Selling-Clarence-Thomas/dp/0452274990

The falsehoods and distortions involved in the selling of Clarence Thomas to the American people neither started nor ended with the treatment of Anita Hill's accusations. From the beginning, the placement of Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation thus raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth--and those who tell it--are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.

4. I probably won't read it but
I wonder how it compares with his opinions - as in generally short and short on substance.

6. let me tell you from experience that friends and fans of authors will post positive reviews on
Amazon, but Amazon also posts negative reviews, but if the author thinks that they are attacking the person rather than the book (and thinks that the person posting hasn't even read the book) he can ask Amazon to remove those reviews. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

12. It varies from author to author, but some are very touchy and negative reviews are removed. nt

7. He won't get a penny of my money
unless it's cheaper than coal for the BBQ, although that might taint my chicken and seafood.
