       I chose to read the book Dirty Sexy Politics because the librarian told me that it was widely popular, an easy fun read, and interesting.  The book was written in 2010 by Senator John McCain's daughter, Meaghan.  When reading comments from others who have read it on Amazon, some praised her for being a daughter of a presidential nominee who actually knew what she was talking about, but others slammed her saying that she was just another brat who loves the spotlight that she gained through her fathers power.  Meghan was 26 when she wrote this book about her life on the campaign trails.  She was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 and went to college at Columbia University.  Now she is a columnist and is an author for The Daily Beast and is also a contributor for MSNBC. She claims to be Republican, but critics say that many of her views are that of the Democratic Party. I was happy to read, when researching this book that she was republican because I was raised a Democrat and wanted to get a sense of the other party's views.   I'm assuming that this book will be heavily slanted and biased towards a Republican viewpoint which is good because I can learn more about the other party's platform and beliefs.
