Read the whole title. It's supposed to be humorous and clever. It was neither, just a comparison of campaign styles.

But early on, when the author identified Jimmy Carter as the former governor of Alabama, I realized that mistake changed the way I was reading. Now, instead of reading for content, I was looking for errors. Aug 14, Jen rated it did not like it. If further editions are released, Shapiro might want to tone down the sexism and homophobia. Nov 15, Judy rated it it was ok. A few amusing stories but really nothing new. I was also disappointed with some of the errors in the book.

There are better books on the subject.

Not Shapiro's best book, but has interesting and funny anecdotes about some presidential candidates perhaps a bit more variety would have helped - he seems to have focused on a handful of candidates alone. Unfortunately a lot of repetition. Skimmed the last two chapters which were superfluous and repetitive. I enjoyed it overall but got a bit bored at times. Jul 25, Jennifer rated it it was ok. I liked this one. Kind of took you through the psyche of the American public as far as how we vote, and it is not usually on just issues.

I don't know that it is entirely scientifically sound, but I liked it anyway. This was an interesting read. From the subtitle, I expected it to be a bit more humorous, and short. I expected it to deal literally with the ways candidates would manipulate for better or worse their physical appearance.

In actuality, Ben spends 7 chapters looking at 7 factors affecting campaigns down through the centuries: Physical appearance made up only 2 of these chapter This was an interesting read. Physical appearance made up only 2 of these chapters, and even then, it was more about how their appearance as it already was affected their campaigns - none could do anything about their height though there were a couple funny anecdotes about shorter candidates who tried to , and none significantly changed their hair for their candidacy, save one notable, and endearing example: Despite it being different than expected, I enjoyed the book.

I thought it read a bit too "narrator" in voice - I'm a listener to Ben's podcast, and would've enjoyed it if he imbued it with more of his personality - but it was a pleasant surprise to get a more overall tour through the history of campaigns, rather than just the narrow focus of physical appearance.

I also enjoyed some of the chapter titles for each factor: Boots" for the idea of being an elitist vs. And Ben didn't just leave it at looking at those 7 factors and then go home - an additional chapter ranks the top 10 presidents and the 5 worst candidates according to these 7 factors with some surprising results , and then he also proceeds to assess potential candidates according to these 7 factors. He didn't miss the mark too much! But the capstone that really gave some purpose to all this analysis, beyond mere interest, was the final chapter where he asks: Shouldn't we care about policy positions over image and PR in our candidates?

And Ben, in succinct and convincing fashion, explains why image matters - and why it should. In a surprising turn, he uses all the forgoing chapters to add weight and drive home his culminating point: And this is where I felt Ben's voice come out - the thing that brings me back to his podcast time and again: And as crazy as it seems, the PR factors we obsess over do add up to a complete picture of a man's nature - one that Americans have done a fairly good job of sussing out down through the centuries, and have only on a few occasions been swayed by an empty good image over ugly substance.

That doesn't mean that every President has been perfect, but it does mean that when Americans are choosing which candidate is more trustworthy or less untrustworthy than the other - they've rarely gotten it wrong. And image has a lot to do with that - policy positions can come and go, but character is forever. In a couple of notable cases, Shapiro did let a couple of Republicans off the hook.

In the discussion of height, he said that Bush senior didn't resort to meanness toward Dukasis. The repeated clips of Dukasis in the tank did the trick. We all know Ronald Reagan was elected in spite of his age, but many think that his vigor and acuteness were exaggerated. Many of us remember how he was unable to answer questions during Iran Contra hearings, claiming not to remember. However, his assessment of Bob Dole was right on the money.

On the plus side, this book whetted my appetite to read more about earlier presidential races. Even before TV and the hour news cycle, optics were still a factor.

Although beautifully written and much of the arguments therein clear, the structuring of the book makes it difficult to follow.

Ben Shapiro jumps from one presidential race to the next. He speaks of the Eisenhower-Stevenson election in one instance and then transitions to writing about the Reagan-Bush election in another and then an 's election in the next. This jumping across different election cycles makes the book exhausting to read as it lacks sequencing. Also, the overemphasis on certai Although beautifully written and much of the arguments therein clear, the structuring of the book makes it difficult to follow. Also, the overemphasis on certain arguments when the point has already been put across feeds into the book being an average read.

This was quite amusing to read in an election year. Voters have been rather shallow all through history. A few choice quotes: Let no committee, no convention -- no town meeting ever extract from him a single word about what he thinks now, or what he will do herea This was quite amusing to read in an election year.

Let no committee, no convention -- no town meeting ever extract from him a single word about what he thinks now, or what he will do hereafter. He had been a registered voter for forty years, but he had never voted. Taylor could not spell, 'stuttered and squinted, lacked formal education, and was incapable of delivering a passable political speech.
