 A GIFT August 3, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have not, personally, read this book. It was a gift for my son, who is an avid reader, and an admirer ( who wasn't ? ) of Tim Russert.I did read the review, and will get this book for myself.
 Big Russ and Me August 2, 2008
It is making me fall in love with Tim Russert all over again. While I don't believe it's a classic piece of literature, it is a wonderful, charming, insightful tale about Tim, aka Timmy, and his family, most especially Big Russ.
I'm loving reading it, although it makes me sad with the realization that we'll never get to see him again - and this year being so wonderful relativve to the political scene. He was relishing in it - glad to have his book. I also have his other book which I will read after this.
Worth the purchase price and the time to read it.

There were many things in his book that my husband and I can relate to! Really enjoyed it---my respect for Tim has doubled after reading this.
AN ADMIRABLE FATHER, AN ADMIRABLE SON July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Tim Russert has written a wonderful, well-deserved, tribute to his father. It's also an unintended tribute to himself. After all, as a good, worthy son, he absorbed his father's valuable lessons of morality, life and living and displayed it in his own life. And the tributes never come across as boasting or bragging. He tells it all with a great sense of humor.
I have recommended this book to dozens of friends and family members, young and old. If you don't get a lump in your throat, reading about the positive thinking, fair-minded, objective, intelligent and kind-hearted father-son duo, then you must examine your life and priorities.
Do read the book!
The story of a typical Catholic family..... July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I grew up Catholic in Dallas Texas in the 50's and could totally identify with Russert and his life experiences. Having had some of the same opportunities, and made it on my own, having learned from all of my experiences from those days, his story really came to life for me, and I understood exactly where he was coming from.
Now that he is gone, I relish having this story sporken in his own words. He struck me as a neat, well grounded guy, who loved his family, and loved his place in life. I truly regret that I never had the chance to know Tim Russert personally.
