Reviews"A savagely funny satirical farce. . . . produces moments that make you laugh out loud at their inspired absurdity." The New York Times "Buckley's caricatures of Washington politics, corporate power plays, media spin control, Hollywood pretensions and the human foibles of self-delusion and denial are appallingly right on the money." San Francisco Chronicle "Seriously funny . . . Forget apple pie. [Buckley's] novel is as American as pork barrels and public relations." The Atlanta Journal & Constitution "The superior goofball plot, raffish cast and zany sex scenes make this the funniest of Buckley's books." Time "Hilarious."
