4.0 out of 5 stars
Hey, I liked it, June 30, 2009
I'm a Democrat all the way, but I liked this book a lot. It's funny, not too pretentious, a little far-fetched at times, but a fast read and an enjoyable one. I personally doubt Ms. Cheney did much of the writing, but whether she did or not I liked the book. Obviously it's not the next great American novel, but it's better than a whole lot of the average beach fare books out there. :)

Food for Thought..., November 29, 2000
By A Customer
In this book, Mrs. Cheney's fictional vice president, a 59-year-old Republican, dies in office of a heart attack. Her real-life husband, Dick Cheney, is also 59 and has, of course, just survived his fourth heart attack. Is the book cursed? In 1988, when the novel was originally published, Dick Cheney suffered his third heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass surgery. Twelve years later, the novel reappears and Cheney's heart fails again. In addition, There is something else in Mrs. Cheney's book that might give Mr. Cheney pause. When the fictional vice president dies, his scheming, ambitious wife participates in a White House coverup of his death and manages to succeed her late husband as the country's first female vice president.

The Body Politics, January 11, 2001
The humor and light hearted approach to Government in particular, and to life in general, is very refreshing, and fun to read. Having viewed Mrs. Chaney for many years, she seems to be lacking humor, which suggests that Perhaps Mr. Gold is the primary author, a view supported by his review of this book in which he takes credit for a, or possible "the", key element in the book, the one dealing with the first female Vice President of the United States. The book is fun to read, it is not a master piece, but never-the-less a worth while onvestment in time to read.
