Story
In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great. Many Americans heard and responded, but our nation’s decline has continued. Today the danger is greater than ever before, and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do now.

As a conservative, this book made me hate myself

One of the least informative or enlightening books I've come across. It seems strange to me that saving America's future has so much to do with the kids who bullied Dr. Carson in his early years, being mentioned substantially more than his wife or family. I also found it funny that Dr. Carson tried so many times to prove the existence of God through Bible verses that say He exists. I found the book to be derivative and juvenile.

Story
In 2010, Scott Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin with a mandate to improve its economy and restore fiscal responsibility. With the state facing a $3.6 billion budget deficit, he proposed a series of reforms to limit the collective bargaining power of public employee unions, which was costing taxpayers billions in pension and health care costs. The reaction was swift and severe. Angry protesters gathered outside the capitol, teacher unions accused him of sabotaging education, and the media descended on Wisconsin to make it a national controversy.

A single event turned into a long book

It was ok but really more of a short story than material for a memoir. Governor Walker also says "nucular" instead of "nuclear" which is very strange.

Story
Few politicians have risen to national prominence as quickly as Marco Rubio. Here is the full story of his unlikely journey. Florida Senator Marco Rubio electrified the 2012 Republican National Convention by telling the story of his parents, who were struggling immigrants from Cuba. They embraced their new country and taught their children to appreciate its unique opportunities. Every sacrifice they made over the years, as they worked hard at blue-collar jobs in Miami and Las Vegas, was for their children. Young Marco grew up dreaming about football, not politics.

Good info, not too fluid

Annoying that it wasn't chronological. But he seems like a good dude and this book is a nice explaination for how he became such a tea party phenomenon without being too radical.
