the right man review


The Right Man
review written
by
Rachel S

The Right Man, written by David Frum, is about an inside look in the white house when George. W. Bush was in. David Frum was a speech writer for the president, he also traveled around with him. He gives the reader anecdotes of the times working there, like what happened on september 11 2001. He touches on topics like the president's religion and how he was liked by his staff. David goes on to say he came into the white house at the wrong time but he was the right man.

I don't usally like politics but I liked this book! The Part where it caught me the most was when 9/11 happened and the security was drastically tightened up and anthrax was a big scare at that time.

14 and up
I rate it 4 out of 5 stars
2003
Random house publishing



this is David Frum:

he was actully a Canadian when he went to work for the president!
lol, then he became a American sometime in there

I may just get a interview with him one of these days...we'll see

An interview with Shannon

I interviewed Shannon Primicerio!
the person who wrote:
the Divine dance
you can too!
just ask me in the comment box

Shannon Primicerio

Racheal: where were you born?
Shannon:  California! I’m a native California and can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Racheal: did you home school or go to school?
Shannon:  I went to public school from kindergarten through high school. In college, I chose to attend Biola University—a private Christian college. I loved public school growing up and never wanted to go anywhere else. I was able to lead some friends to the Lord along the way and grow in my faith as a result. I chose Biola because I wanted to minor in biblical studies.  
Racheal: whats your favorite family memoir when you where growing up? like what tradition?
Shannon:  As a kid, Friday night was always family night. We’d go out to dinner, play a game or watch a movie together. That was always really fun. A tradition my husband and I have is collecting a nativity set from all of our international travels. Then at Christmas we can fill our home with reminders that Jesus truly is Lord of every tongue, tribe and nation.
Racheal: what is your favorite book? 
Shannon: The Bible. It’s honestly the only book that remains constantly in my number one position. I try to read 50-60 books per year, so my other favorites are always changing based on what I’m currently reading.
Racheal: what is your favorite music?
Shannon:  I like a mix of different music. Chris Tomlin is probably my favorite contemporary Christian artist, and Brad Paisley is my favorite Country artist.

Racheal: 
wow. so bloggers, you can contact her very easily if you want too!
