Despite his god-like status among many, I don't know much about Ronald Reagan, except for generalities and sound bites. It was rather interesting to read about President Reagan's life from the perspective of his son. Ron Reagan sets up the book as an exploration of his father as a person and not a president, and I appreciated the humanization of such a grand public figure. Ron Reagan introduces the book by stating that he wants to recount experiences that he and his father shared, and explore their relationship as father and son, but then he spends a great deal of the book tracing the lineage of the Reagan family, and it isn't until halfway through that his father, Ronald, even appears on the scene. The next half of the book is then split between Ron's retracing of his father's steps and a recounting of Ronald's life from childhood through his college career. Little of the book is spent on Ronald Reagan and even less was spent on Ron and Ronald. I feel that if Ron Reagan had had an editor who made him pick a goal - Reagan family history, early Ronald Reagan life, or Ron and Ronald stories - and stick with that guiding light, the book would have been much more coherent, and much less frustrating. As it is, this feels like three wimpy books all fighting for supremacy and neither quite achieving centre stage. Despite that, there is a fair amount of anecdote and personal musing on Ronald Reagan to make this book worth reading for the student of the President, or for the peruser of memoir.
