8 mins ago "O: A Presidential Novel" (Simon & Schuster, $25.99), by Anonymous: "O," the much-hyped fictionalized account of President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election effort, is an enjoyable read for political junkies who can't wait for the next campaign to start.
But while "Primary Colors" offered a witty and unexpected portrait of Clinton and his complicated blend of brilliance and flaws, the Obama of "O" is the same gifted but vaguely detached figure he's been since his debut on the national stage. The story tells us nothing about the man we don't know already.
