This impressive first novel calls to mind All the King's Men--tales of private drama played out in the public arena. Through the eyes of characters who are absorbing, complex, and all too human, we see a telling picture of an election campaign in which all politics is not only local, but personal.
This is the best political novel since All the King's Men. It's smart, funny, sad, and insightful. It was a lot of fun to read.

A friend recommended this novel to me, and I was bowled over by how good it was -- moving, smart, and really gripping. Even if you don't like politics -- and I don't -- it gets hold of you.
