I read Bill Clinton's Presidential memoirs My Life after getting it at a bookstore for $9.99 (when it's rrp was $35.00) back in 2005. It was an interesting autobiography but it dragged on for a bit wrong (969 pages).  It was kind of funny when he said, I only had one encounter with Monica Lewinsky after his weekly Radio Address in May, 1997. Bill we know you did it more than once! Now my question, to people who have read it before what did you think of William Jefferson Clinton's My Life?

It was way too long. From the point where he finished high school to where he became President was pretty interesting though.

I enjoyed it, though I have to agree his early life and governorship interested me more than his take on the Presidency.

I read it whenever it came out.  It's a good book and has inspired me to some degree.

I think its a brilliant work, as presidential autobios go. I may review it later on if there is interest.

Decent book, but drags on too long.

Do like reading about his encounters with foreign leaders.
