Big Russ and Me

Big Russ and Me was a gift to my husband for Father's Day. He loved it and insisted I read it when he was finished. Frankly, I felt I had already read it as he kept reading different parts of it to me. It made us both yearn for a simpler life. His respect for authority was taught to him by his...

Outstanding Biography

You can clearly hear Tim Russert's voice as you read this book. There were so many connections that I could make to his family, growing up, and the problems and decisions he encountered. I didn't want the book to end. I bought this copy for my son-in-law who is an avid reader. I know he will have...

Decent Book, Great Guy

This book was not meant to be a nuanced portrait, so you won't like it if that is what you are looking for. Russert's tale is simple and straightforward. He's and trying to remember a lot of the good things he learned over his too-short life. Being from Buffalo, having met him in 1991, and being...

Awsome book

This is truly one of the best books I ever read. I just loved it. I am from Western NY also, and a year younger than Tim. So much of what he wrote brought back so many memories He wrote this book just like he talked. Each chapter was a different segment of his life. My biggest regret is that I...

best audio book

This is one of the best audio books I've listened to. Tim Russert is an excellent narrator and he has an interesting story to tell. I promise you'll not be bored and if you grew up in the 40's and 50's you'll most certainly be able to relate to his growing up years.

A good read

My daughter, now in her 20s, bought this book for me to pass the time during a long trip that we recently took to visit my mother. It's a book that I had heard about before but had never once considered reading. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! "Big Russ and Me" probably will appeal...
