Recensione:
"Everything you expect from good satire. The narrative is timely and amusing, but the real revelation is Janeane Garofalo's reading. She's great as the voice of Cassandra, the 29-year-old blogger who instigates this social revolution, and she's also excellent at voicing the roundtable of special interests-a right-wing evangelist, a dirty-tricks president, and a gung-ho senator who is an amputee. The result is a truly democratic audiobook that makes fun of all parties equally." (AudioFile Magazine )
"GREAT CHARACTERS, GREAT NARRATOR, GREAT FUN: Politics was never so much fun before Christopher Buckley got a hold of it and gave it a good shake.... Throughout, Garofalo plays this shtick like the maestro of an oddball orchestra, to which we can only say, 'Brava!'"(Praise for BOOMSDAY) (Philadelphia Inquirer )
Narrator Anne Heche has the right edge to her voice to underscore Buckley's wry humor. She also delvers warmth and sensitivity whenever needed....If you're comic sensibilities coincide with Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, this incisive Buckley lampoon is right up your alley. (The Huffington Post Tom Alderman 2008)
Buckley effectively ransacks the Washington political machine for his newest novel, disarmingly read by Anne Heche. No stranger to controversy herself, Heche takes a special glee in depicting media gone mad...Supreme satirical novelist Buckley gives the narrator plenty of clues, and Heche delivers the annoying laugh and calculating tones of justice wannabe Senator Mitchell with hilarious exactitude. Despite the preponderance of men in Supreme Courtship, it is the brilliant casting of Heche-who keeps Pepper present at all times-that gives this audiobook an edge over the print edition. (Publishers Weekly 2008)
