ARKANSAS MISCHIEF: The Birth of a National Scandal

Listening to this book is almost too much for one person to bear. The weight of McDougal’s accusations, that both President and Mrs. Clinton lied about Whitewater, suggests that there is more to come in the continuing Clinton melodrama. Lloyd James’s Southern accent and sober inflection reel us in. He has excellent diction, and his voice is easy to listen to. However, his reading is distracting because he’s too close to the microphone, and we hear some unsavory mouth sounds. He also has some noticeable pronunciation errors. On the whole, though, James narrates a good story. We should just hope that much of it is fiction. R.I.G. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 99]
