After years of emceeing insipid singing competitions, TV personality Bryan Seafoam can't wait to host "American President," the world's first reality show to elect a country's Chief Executive. It's the chance he's waited a lifetime for--an opportunity to be a real journalist, unearthing skeletons and playing hardball with the top ten candidates. But it doesn't take long for the contestants to start digging up dirt of their own and throwing it back at him--literally, in the case of billionaire candidate Ronald Chump when he's challenged to dig his own moat along the Mexican border. To make matters worse, Bryan's producer pressures him to be nicer to the candidates, and his former crush, now an experienced political correspondent, shows up--and shows him up at every turn. When a cheating scandal rocks the show, Bryan suspects it's just the tip of a very underhanded iceberg. Will exposing the plot to wreck the most hysterical--er, historic--election of all time cost him everything? Or lead to an even bigger reward he never anticipated.… (més)

This book was hard to put down. From the satirical title, to the play on the politician's names (such as Ronald Chump), it promises plenty of laughter and wit while poking fun at our political system. Let's be honest, our last election was a bit of a circus, so the book, in a sense, mirrors real-life (unfortunately). There are lots of surprises and ironic laughs in this satire. Take, for example, the candidates being hooked up to polygraph machines while delivering their campaign promises. I truly enjoyed it. The plot is fast-paced with plenty of snappy dialogue. This book shakes a finger at career Republicans and Democrats alike, pointing out the failures of such career politicians who operate mainly in their own self-interest. Each candidate is a caricature of someone we've seen before, and it made the whole premise even more circus-like.
If you've ever enjoyed watching SNL and their parodies of political candidates or reveled in the dark humor of movies such as Idiocracy, you'll get a kick out of this political satire. ( )
