A review by bookhawk
Primary Colors by Anonymous

3.0

Primary Colors is a good book that is really a deep dive into politics. The book specifically captures the way a politician connects with voters and the public very well. Ultimately this book was not higher rated for me because it was such a plodding read and depressing as to the candidates’ true character.

The movie seemed to stray significantly from the book but I watched it a long time ago and likely not from beginning to end in one sitting.

Primary Colors reminded me in a small way of All the King’s Men but not nearly as grand, sweeping and eloquent as Warren’s epic southern political piece.
