" ... Stopped reading about half way through. ... "
" ... We already know what happened during the 2016 election, so let's move on ! ... "
" ... Secretary Clinton has failed to come to terms with what actually happened. ... "
" ... It took me a month to read it. ... I was expecting an inside look at the campaign: what worked, what didn't, strategies and the reasonings behind them, internal battles, successes and failures. ... There was so much in this book that had nothing to do with "What Happened" and so little to do with what actually did happen. ... "
" ... That's "what happened". ... It could be decades before we know most of what happened, and is now happening. ... "
" ... Didn’t tell me what happened. ... "
" ... There is a lot of defense and not much admission of failure. ... "
" ... People wanting to know "What Happened?" ... The polls said the opposite of what happened. ... "

" ... It was clear how all the negative stuff said hurt her. ... "
" ... As someone who has felt the sting of that unfairness in a different context and myself needed to recover from stinging defeat, reading a memoir from a "loser" was interesting and important. ... "
" ... Where she was when she was resting, how she kept up the grueling schedule and how she compartmentalized in order to stay sane! ... "
" ... She is a wonderful writer and is able to express her thoughts and feelings coherently. ... "
" ... I felt enlivened. ... "
" ... I enjoyed reading about the election from HRC's perspective, as well as her post-mortem for what she felt went wrong (although this is also heartbreaking). ... Everything from clothing to overall professional experience is fair game, and I think she hits the nail on the head. ... "
" ... She has had a lot of pain in her life and seemed to question herself when she was younger but she is a strong woman and I find her to be very truthful. ... "
" ... This book felt deeply personal to me. ... "

" ... There were many touching parts, sad parts, and funny parts. ... "
" ... I was moved to tears by various sections. ... "
" ... Very clear about mistakes made and who made them. ... "
" ... She has important insight into the election from her perspective as a candidate, and as one of few people who have stood toe to toe with the 45th. ... "
" ... She has persevered thru much in her life and still seems to me has survived with her integrity intact. ... "
" ... The book is, obviously, timely and noteworthy, even now a few months after its release. ... "
" ... What Happened feels like the third in a medicinal trilogy. ... "
" ... Hillary would be the opposite of Trump and the world would be a happier, safer place. ... "
