Summary: Easy to read yet a rather uncomfortable presentation
Comment: The antics of "Dark Horse" candidate Shakespeare McCann and the drug and alcohol addiction of Mitch Dutton own wife, turn what appears to be a sure bet into a cliff hanger in this Texas election for the a seat in the House of Representatives.

The unbelievable situations which continually disrupt the campaign strategies of Dutton and continually narrow the gap between the two candidates, are presented in such a manner as to create an aura of fear and concern for the reader!

I look forward to more from Doug Richardson.

Summary: Excellent book, but not too believable
Comment: This book was an easy read and highly entertaining. Unfortunately there is no credibility. The antics that take place here could never happen, the press would go crazy over a candidate with no past, the people seem too gullible, McCann never says anything of substance, and the death of Hammond...well, a reviewer below said it, there is no way he would have been out riding a horse instead of at campaign headquarters. It gets to be too much, but it still was highly entertaining.

Summary: Life imitates art
Comment: This book isn't much more than a novelized screenplay -- kind of a "Cape Fear" in a political setting -- and I can't recommend it to anyone. But for those questioning its credibility: a state Senate candidate in Tennessee has just been charged with the murder of his opponent, a heavily favored incumbent who was killed on his farm. The parallels pretty much stop there, but it's still eerie.
