Book Reviews of The White House Mess
Book Review: A mess indeed .....
Summary: 5 Stars
I was recomended this book by a friend and wasn't able to put it down until I reached the back page. Written as a fictional memoir of a White House staffer it follows the regularly comical journey of the President through a term in office. There were occasions when reading this book I found myself laughing out loud, it is at times so farcical you (worryingly) almost start to beleive it could be true. There are times when you wonder what can possibly happen next, but happen they do.
Spin doctors the world over may do well to read this book, as an example of exactly how, even with the best intentions, things can go wrong. It just goes to show power is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.
