I thoroughly enjoyed Ron Reagan's memoir of his father (written during what would have been the President's 100th year). Instead of just giving us a chronological account of his father's life, Mr. Reagan breaks up the bare facts with digressions that help to illuminate the character of one of our country's most influential and beloved leaders. However, if you want a complete account of Ronald Reagan's life from beginning to end with details from every event, this is not the book for you. Instead, Ron tells his readers the stories that he feels helps to enlighten the reader to the kind of man his father was. For example, the Hollywood years are mostly glossed over and the author does not give details on every policy ever enacted by his father during his Presidency. Also, some of the members of my club felt the constant digressions were a little distracting, but I thought it made it better and more like a story. In conclusion, this book is entertaining and, at times, very moving. It gives you a good idea of Ronald Reagan's character but not all the facts of his life.
