Summary: Great niche book for political internships.
Comment: I teach students in political science, and I have had several of them read this book and remark that it is very useful on several levels. First, it helps them conceptualize about the purpose and meaning of their internships. Second, the book helps them understand some of the details of the internships they are likely to secure. It also helps them to get a jump-start on the types of skills and tasks they need in their internships.
With internships becoming increasingly important to career-minded students (and their parents), this book is a nice way for students to balance their practical ambitions with their political science education. It is a welcome addition to internships, which too often occur serendipitously and absent any academic perspective. With this book, students are able to think about what they are doing, why they are doing it, and what the internship means for their studies and career interests.

Summary: From the book's editors
Comment: The Insider's Guide has been favorably profiled in a number of publications, including Roll Call, Capitol Hill's leading newspaper. Our students have found the book extremely useful in helping them to get the most out of their political internship experiences. College faculty and internship supervisors have also found the book helpful. --G. Reeher and M. Mariani

Summary: Not much of an insider
Comment: Major disappointment. This book offered little in the way of "insider" insights, but read primarily an attempt by the author to present himself as a political "player."
Interns typically don't make much money, so I'd recommend you save yours for something other than this book.
