Al Franken, Giant of the Senate Hardcover – Illustrated, 30 May 2017

This is a very honest and informative look at how our government operates and why electing people who are "anti-establishment" generally backfires. The problem is not that there are differences of opinion; the problem is when our representatives refuse to talk, negotiate, work together to achieve things that may not be perfect, but are ultimately of benefit for our country. Al Franken is a serious politician and a great Senator as well as being a very funny and hugely insightful person! This book is not a partisan polemic (as some of his others can rather be, much as I love them). It is a really great look at how to make government work. We need many more people like him in our Congress. Great book, great person!

I've bought all of Al Frakens previous books so I am already a fan and this book just reinforces that. Although not quite as funny as his other books because he has to reign in some of his broader commentary his sense of duty to his job and his frustration at how things are in the States right now makes me wish there more politician's like him in the world.

It's Al Franken, it's gonna be amusing, engaging and thoughtful. It's also gonna be liberal and warm. If you like that kinda thing, read and enjoy. If you don't, don't pick it up.I had a great time with this book. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Still dipping in to it for reading pleasure.

Loved Stuart Smalley! Love Sen Al Franken. Written with humour (of course) and insight.

A candid insight into one of the more sane members of the senate. Well written, interesting and useful to gain an understanding of the inner workings of the Washington 'swamp'.

An interesting autobiography from one of the more interesting members of the US Senate. How did Franken get from SNL to Congress? Read this.

A humorous, entertaining, and at times heart breaking story ... Full of hope, doing the right thing in an enjoyable and easy read.
