Clinton's book tops 1 best-seller list, but is it falling short?

SHARE Clinton's book tops 1 best-seller list, but is it falling short?

While Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is making a best-dressed mayors list, Hillary Clinton appears has hit at least one best-seller list with her second book.

Publisher Simon and Schuster say the former secretary of state’s “Hard Choices” had strong sales in its first five days and debuted at No. 1 on the Indie Bestseller List, according to a Politico story.

But some say the book, which focuses on her years as secretary of state, from 2009-13, is falling short of her first memoir, “Living History,” which dealt in large part with her time as first lady and scandals involving her husband while he was president.

Emanuel, who spent time in Bill Clinton’s White House, and Hillary Clinton were together in Chicago Wednesday as part of her book tour. “I actually wrote about Rahm in the book. I asked him not to read it before we sat,” she said to laughter at the event at the Harris Theater.
