laugh out loud reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Jim Lerher is one of the few authors I can count on for laughs. His silliness is to the point since he satires current political issues. Mack to the rescue is one of these. I could not read it to my husband because I couldn't stop laughing. It sure is a good light read.
Laugh Out Loud Funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book, the eighth in the One-Eyed Mack series, is less a mystery than a political commentary. In fact, even though he is held up for ridicule in the book, Mark Russell could have written this novel. It is really a very clever commentary on the modern rush to believe that private means "better." Mack to the Rescue is truly a laugh-out-loud funny novel with lovable characters, most of whom have appeared in Lehrer's prior work. A very highly recommended book.
