President George W. Bush: Our Forty-Third President

genre: bio

time: 21st century

stars: 4

It tells the story of George W. Bush, just the basic story for 9-12 year olds ( and of course older) The Auther isn't 

criticizes him in some bios they just tear apart the person.

my opioion: I really liked it for a basic bio! it was the story of him! and the auther  wasn't attacking him

 or making him look really good or bad. 

should you read it? yes if you want to read about George w. Bush

I wonder if theirs a book like that written about Barak Oboma.
