Supreme Courtship

From the author of Thank You for Smoking, this book is an over-the-top ridiculous satire. It's hilarious. The character names alone are worth perusing. President Donald Vanderdamp, and his consigliere Graydon Clenndennynn are stuck in quite a pickle.

I was vaguely aware of this writer before, but now that I've read one of his books, I'm going to read them all. If they're half as entertaining, it'll be awesome. It is a farce - halfway through the book I realized the characters were going to embrace the worst possible choices they could make, and I stopped cringing and just enjoyed the ride. Read this book, laugh at the characters not with them, and hope for the worst outcome of their schemes. You'll enjoy it.
