Book Review: "And the Good News Is..."

If you don't watch Fox News Channel, you might not know who Dana Perino is.  She's on Fox News now, but before that, she was George W. Bush's press secretary and the first Republican female press secretary at that.  I just finished reading her book And the Good News Is...Lessons and Advice from the Bright Side.

I would recommend this book to any young lady who's just getting ready to go into college or finish college and join the "adult" world.  It's full of simple advice for success.  And, Dana's personal stories of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are inspirational.

And that's where I'd recommend the book to really anyone.  Her story is fascinating - even unbelievable at times - and it does offer a bit of hope (that "good news" the title talks about I suppose).  It's kind of nice to see someone with a moral center and healthy values actually succeeding - proof that good sometimes does win after all in a world full of cynicism and selfishness.

It's an easy read, not too long, not too short, with very conversational language.  Not sure it's a book the guys will really get excited about (stories of her love life maybe a bit too sugary for the particularly macho), but ladies, I bet you would enjoy it.
