This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral–Plus Plenty of Valet Parking!–in America's Gilded Capital by Mark Leibovich

3.0

This is a book about Washington and how it feeds on itself. I love a good gossipy political book (see: Game Change) but this one fell flat. There were too many characters who might be important in Washington but weren’t familiar to me. But the good news is that I joked while reading it that what I really wanted was Game Change volume 2, and it turns out there is going to be one! I also want to win the lottery (just in case I am speaking things into existence). Recommended for: Washington insiders (she said in a scornful tone as she contemplated going rogue).
