5By Growth is KnowledgePeople who have IQ above 70 should be able to listen or read with an objective opinion. If you are reading the reviews and want to have a broader perspective on the world, I say go for it.Poor
1By tnt1000I really tried to read this piece of garbage. It did make a great liner for the cat box🤣Painful
1By BOC me262The ultimate chameleon. I could not finish this snooze festival. Yes, I did try to read it but it was too mindless. Learning anything truthful about her seems impossible. Total waste of time and money.Remarkable
5By SDWillA truly remarkable yet utterly American story. A must read for people interested in substance over sound bites.The Truths We Hold
5By World PC“The Truths We Hold” reads like an extended Christmas newsletter. Senator Harris’ kind even reverent words about Earl Warren reminds me of a time when politicians of both parties buckled down and governed between elections. She wrote of cities and neighborhoods throughout California in ways that were familiar to me. Senator Harris took me on a journey of learning and personal .Disappointed
1By Mr. MaleAppears to try and whitewash her history of privilege and her aggressive win-at-all-costs approach to politics. Was hoping she was more about the truths she holds and her values. Not worth the read - sorry (really wanted to like this one).
