'Every Day Is Extra offers a detailed record of an important
life . . . it is frank, thoughtful and clearly written . . .
What lingers are not the parts but the whole; not the life, but the
man. . . A bittersweet reminder of what the country once demanded
of its leaders.' -- Gideon Rose * The New York Times Book Review
*
'In these pages Kerry shows remarkable honesty,
depth, even spirituality . . . There is remarkable poignancy
- not the usual currency of the career politician and the country's
top diplomat.' -- David M. Shribman * The Boston Globe *
'The strength of Kerry's memoir is that it draws back the curtain
on a life you thought you knew, but turns out to be a bit different
. . . A surprisingly personal book.' -- David Ignatius * The
Washington Post *
'The difference between memoir and autobiography can be fuzzy, but
Every Day Is Extra . . . has both the reflective
candor of the former and the painstaking, chronological detail
of the latter.' * The New Yorker *
'Fine reading for politics junkies, especially those with an
interest in how policy is made . . . A smart look at not just
[Kerry's] life, but also our times.' * Kirkus Reviews *
'[A] fine memoir . . . This book reveals a man of quiet, passionate
patriotism, immense intelligence, and thoughtfulness.' * Publishers
Weekly (starred review) *
'The war hero, senator, secretary of state and presidential
candidate has plenty to write about - and to be right
about.' * The Guardian *
'Kerry saw US power much as he saw his own privilege: as a call
to service. His memoir gives a comprehensive and, in
places, moving account of his response to that call. People
disagree over the wisdom and effectiveness of US foreign policy in
the Kerry years, but there can be no serious dispute about the
integrity and patriotism that Kerry brought to the
job.' * Foreign Affairs *
