THE CONFESSION

In 2004, after revealing his homosexuality and then resigning as governor of New Jersey, McGreevey went on to do something few politicians do. He wrote and published an autobiography that would expose the extent of his lies to his family, his constituents, and himself. What follows is his history, filled with stories of his humble rise and tragic fall from politics, along with the occasional grandstanding. McGreevey narrates in a dry but sincere tone that sometimes shifts. Whether the fluctuation is emotion or poor sound editing is unclear. While several leaps in the book remind listeners of its abridgment, the overall production maintains the key points of McGreevey's confession.
