SOUNDBITE (English)  Charlotte Abbott/Book News Editor, Publishers Weekly\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is a book that will definitely put bookstores on the radar and get people thinking about books.\"\u003cbr/\u003e26. Clinton book\u003cbr/\u003eBill Clinton's memoir \"My Life\" is the most anticipated book in the US this summer, containing all the elements of a bestselling novel: conspiracies, scandals and a popular, but flawed hero.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the difference between this anticipated \"must read\" and others is that the public lived through the often tumultuous events laid out in the autobiography.\u003cbr/\u003eThat doesn't seem to matter.   \u003cbr/\u003eThey're still lining up for more.\u003cbr/\u003eThe book hasn't even hit the shelves and already it's sold more than two (M) million copies through advance orders.\u003cbr/\u003eThat's exactly what Clinton's publishers were counting on.\u003cbr/\u003eThe former president received a reported 10 (M) million dollars for writing \"My Life\" - thought to be the largest advance ever paid for a non-fiction political book.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter eight years and millions of dollars of public investigations into Clinton's doings, it's hard to believe there's anything left to tell.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the former president, himself, promises at least a few surprises.\u003cbr/\u003eBombshells or not, what many readers are hoping for are some new details - an explanation, perhaps - of his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Clinton devotes a mere fraction of his book to that infamous time in history, he does reveal that that affair led to temporary banishment from the White House bedroom to a nearby couch.\u003cbr/\u003eHe also admits that in the aftermath of his confession, he and first lady Hillary Clinton sought counselling, a day a week, every week, for a year.\u003cbr/\u003eAs for his 1998 impeachment resulting from the Lewinsky affair, Clinton calls it his \"last great showdown with the forces (he) had opposed all of (his) life\".\u003cbr/\u003eHe said Republican leaders in Congress didn't really go after him for lying under oath, but for reasons of power.\u003cbr/\u003eScandals, however, take up only a small part of the 957-page memoirs.\u003cbr/\u003e\"My Life\" covers everything from Clinton's Arkansas childhood, to his tenure as that state's governor, to his two presidential campaigns.\u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats are hoping the book will remind Americans - particularly in an election year - of better, more prosperous times.\u003cbr/\u003eBut some analysts say Clinton's re-emergence into the spotlight does not spell good news for current Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. \u003cbr/\u003eKerry's camp is quick to brush off such suggestions and embrace the former president, insisting he can only help their campaign.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd there's another group embracing Clinton's book - booksellers, who, even before the book hits the shelves, are already hearing dollar signs.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
