Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been a huge fan of the author since his first solo with "Tourist Season." However, I would have said that he had reached his peak someplace around "Double Whammy," "Skin Tight," and "Native Tongue," and had been doing the same thing over and over since -- auto-plagiarism being common enough (looking at you, Jagger and Richards,) and a good way to produce successful, if unoriginal, work. This book is a welcome return to earlier form. The characters are fresher and more complex, the satire more sharp-toothed, the irony more profound. Not to mention that the book contains many, many laugh-out-loud moments. Only the obligatory re-appearance of Skink takes us back to well-trod ground. Happy to see this happen, and recommend the book highly. It is, of course, clear that, like dozens if not hundreds of other comedy creators, the existence of Donald Trump has been a major inspiration for the author. So if you are an admirer of Mastodon -- er, Trump -- you will not like this book at all. Save your money to buy another red cap.
