Fun read. It makes light of a very serious election season that had a lot of anger in it. Sometimes we just need to look back and laugh at ourselves.

Ah, this book reminds me of better times. I really liked the few breaks for prose that were in the book. They were all very funny and satirical. Some of the poems worked better than others. The rhymes were quite a stretch and stilted at points, and quite clever at others. It's an amusing summary of events, although it does focus far more on the Republican primaries than anything else in the race. It would have been nice to have more about Obama vs. Mitt, and the results.

I really wanted to like this a lot more. It is occasionally clever, with a few chuckles. But most of it was really just recounting the events of the 2012 presidential campaign with the gimmick that it's in rhyme most of the time. Nothing to do with portraying the participants as dogs, which was a really lost opportunity in selecting breeds and personality traits. Some minor charm, but ultimately disappointing.

A nice collection of rhymes detailing the 2012 election.

I raise a forkful of spaghetti carbonara to Mr. Trillin for this iambic-pentameter recap of the 2012 campaign season. Fast, funny, and nearly as informative as Game Change was for 2008.
