Helpful Score: 2

I work in politics and media in Washington, D.C. and read this novel while immersed in a presidential election, so it was pretty much tailored for me. But with that caveat, I will say I really enjoyed it. It was a very fast read, insightful about the characters and full of minor but fun behind-the-scenes details. Wallace has worked in this arena long enough to not sound overly impressed with titles and job descriptions anymore, which means she is more focused on plot and characters than on their setting or importance. Great light read: Take it on an airplane or to the beach and enjoy telling people you're reading a novel by one of the major characters from the 2008 election (that's "Game Change" to the HBO buffs).
