Peter Baker, writing a review for the Washington Post, described it as Bill Clinton's version of his wife's 1996 book It Takes a Village. The book details efforts funded by the Clinton Foundation or which Clinton otherwise admires, with a message encouraging readers to join in. The book mentions the charity work of well-known people like Oprah Winfrey, Andre Agassi, and Warren Buffett, why each chooses to do it, and also mentions lesser known instances of charity.
The book can be used as a guide for fundraising by the NGO and INGO activists.[2]
Baker called Giving an "extended public service announcement masquerading as a book" that offers "little in the way of personal introspection".[2]John Freeman, writing for Newsday, was more favorable, calling Giving "powerful, inspirational guide" for everyday citizens that rose above simply being a political move.[4]
As of April 2008, Clinton had earned $30 million from the sales of Giving and his previous book, My Life.[5] He made $6.3 million from Giving, minus the $1 million he gave to charity.[3]
