Review of 'On the House' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

It was good.

## Why I Picked It Up ##

Mel had checked it out and finished it up, so I decided to read it real quick before it was due.

## What I Liked About It ##

I didn't really know anything about Boehner before reading this besides that he was speaker of the house.

I like that hatred for Ted Cruz is apparently universal and without end. It's the one thing you can really count on to bring up all together.

## What I want to remember ##

I didn't know about his anti-corruption crusade upon joining the house. That was neat.

He alleges he got his start in politics by serving on his Home Owners Association. And then.. poof! Speaker of the House!

## What I didn't like about it ##

The whole chapter about high school sports. Nobody cares that you played football in high school, John.

## Who I'd recommend it to ##

Political junkies
