    “Al Franken, Giant of the Senate”... an anecdotal account of one man’s election to the US Senate
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017*

“Al Franken, Giant of the Senate” by Al Franken is 405 pages in length and sold on Kindle for $14.99This book is an anecdotal, autobiography by democratic Senator Al Franken from Minnesota. It contains brief snippets of his childhood, his time with Saturday Night Line (SNL), both his campaigns for Senatorial office and finally some revelations surrounding the 2016 Presidential Election and its aftermath; things that have resulted in some unpredictable and unprecedented consequences.Al Franken was first and foremost a comedian, and this trait comes shining through in this book. No matter the point in time being discussed or the seriousness of any given situation, humor in the form of a witty retort or funny thought is never far from his mind.Is the book well written... well, yes and no. It is an basically an extensive anecdotal account of events that have occurred, plus some side remarks that may add some detail or color (often humorous). So this limits the ability and opportunity to write skillful prose. And in truth, if this had a professionally quality to the writing it probably would have lost some of its appeal and the honesty that I came to feel towards this book, and by association, this man.One got the feeling that while reading this book that either Al Franken was continually tooting his own horn OR he was the rarest of all breeds, a politician that had some moral conviction, and the desire and stamina to fight for what he believes is right. My instincts and hopes lean me towards the latter.I came away feeling that the Democratic Party could do a lot worse than having Senator Al Franken as their party’s Presidential nominee in 2020.The book is informative and entertaining... 5 Stars.Ray Nicholson@ralannicholson

    Still worth the read after Franken is no longer in the Senate
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020*

I bought this book while Al Franken was still in the Senate, set it aside due to routine distractions, and read it in 2020 after he left the Senate.  It still reads as well as it ordinarily would have, although evoking a slight feeling of regret that he is not still there.First, it should be acknowledged that this is the only book in the English language that features firsthand anecdotes of interactions with both Dan Ackroyd and Ted Cruz, although not at the same time.  And, no disrespect to Dan Ackroyd, the Ted Cruz anecdotes are (unintentionally)  funnier.The book takes us from Franken’s time at SNL to an intermediate period where he authored such books as Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, to the Democratic primaries for the US Senate seat in Minnesota, to the unbelievably close first election, to his time in the United States Senate.The most notable tales from the Senate include bonding with Republican lawmakers with whom he still strongly disagrees, and, amazingly enough in the age of Trump, working with them to get things done in areas where there is common ground.Despite this, the best lines are reserved for the entire chapter devoted to Ted Cruz, including, “I like Ted Cruz better than do most other Senators.  And I really hate Ted Cruz,” and, summing up the extreme dislike felt by most of his fellow senators,  “Ted Cruz is the Dwight Schrute of the Senate.”In short, a great read, even though it’s author has sadly moved on to other things.

    Great Insight, plus he is very Funny!  In a great way!
  

*by Z***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022*

I loved this book.  I listen to my books when I go to bed and put them on sleep timer.  However, I probably never slept. This book was great.  And as a 70 year old white gal who was subjected to all kinds of sexual harassment during my life, we really lost a great asset to the Congress when our Democrats made him resign.  Wow, what were we thinking?  I know the person who really pushed it, but when you think about it, back when the alleged thing happened it was in an era most everyone didn't really pay attention to those things.  So sorry, but as a woman, I do not see why he was asked to step down.  It was rampant during that time and us gals just said - Boys will be boys.  Like my dad would say - Don't let them get your goat!  So I never did!  I just chalked it up to another experience.  Thank you, Al for a great book! You did great things while in Congress and do hope you continue your contributions to our society.
