A review by wampusreynolds
Election by Tom Perrotta
4.0
A fine, funny novel so much in its time (written in 1993, published in 1998) that reading it now can almost transport you to an era where people’s perspectives were fueled by a perspective of sex as this sort of magick that could justify outrageously wrong decisions. The politics of the plot can be analogized to real-life races before and after its time in the zeitgeist.
The ending is different from the movie adaptation, a movie that I love. And that made the breezy read worth the time, because both endings make sense in a way. And one doesn’t win over the other decisively though I do prefer one more. I’m not saying which, though.
