I'm going to open by saying I was disappointed by this book—but I'm hoping you'll keep reading this review and still consider it as a book you might enjoy.

The good news
• It's a delight to hear stories from Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life and career in her own words.
• The fact that this book is based on conversations makes the prose reader-friendly.
• The book offers a great introduction to the development of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legal thinking over time.

The not so good news
• If you've followed Ruth Bader Ginsburg's career, you'll know most of the information included here—there are no great revelations.
• The book is composed of transcripts of multiple conversations, separated into individual thematic units, then recombined to create chapters with specific foci. This mostly works, but there's a fair bit of repetition. I would have appreciated a much firmer editorial hand.

Bottom line
If you're looking for an introduction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this is a great text that you'll enjoy reading. If you're a long-term fan of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you're not likely to learn much that's new.

Note: I received a free electronic ARC of this title for review purposes. The opinions are my own.

Wonderful RBG a personal heroine love reading about her ,her opinions thoughts ideas .Will be gifting to other fans a great gift great read.#netgalley#henryholt.

I just love RBG she is just a wonderful intelligent women and this bgok was absolutely wonderful everybody should read it whether your a man or a women.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg has become a very popular figure in our culture in the past few years. This book by Jeffrey Rosen has information, background and, most importantly, interviews with RBG.
Justice Ginsberg reveals herself as a brilliant, thoughtful, and amazing person. She shows herself to be worthy of all the attention.

Since I love RBG and think everything she says is good, I would always recommend any book that is a compilation of her thoughts and I will read this again and again.

A wonderful addition to the books about RBG. This one is "RBG in her own words". It is transcribed interviews with an interviewer she obviously knows and trusts well. (they became acquainted through their mutual love of opera, and have attended together many times). She takes on so many topics, while giving a thorough history of the Supreme Court and the justices over the years who have contributed to landmark decisions. Highly recommended.
