Reviews

[Ifeoma · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books I've read in my life.

[Jim Richardson · Rating 1 out of 5]

I only made it to page 145. Positively sleep inducing.

[Meli · Rating 3 out of 5]

The principles in this book relating to politics lend it to deserving applause, especially from some of the great prose that can be found in it. The over-the-top attachment of the couple made it difficult for me to personally get attached to the novel. Mr. Edelman has certainly made a valuable literary contribution though in this highly underrated novel.
