The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland by Amy Klobuchar
2.0
Two stars as a review of the book, not the person. There's not much driving action, and she recounts gruesome details from murder cases she worked on in more titillating detail than is at all useful to her points.
As a politician, based solely on this book, it sounds like she is a solid representative of the values she grew up with– which might be great representation for Minnesota (I don't know). On a national stage, I would not be really upset if she were elected, but I would be disappointed. She'd do fine assuming we wanted to maintain a roughly linear trend of evolving progressivism; not a great choice for making bold changes in the face of real crisis.
