This book is a blast. I truly enjoyed it from cover to cover. As an Astrologer living in Santa Fe, I really got a kick out of all the locations that were used here in the Southwest...And all the astrological jargon was fun for me too. I think she did a great job and here's hoping she will write another. Kudos to you, Barbara

"The President's Astrologer" is a perfect summer read, although I'd recommend it for any season. It has all the ingredients that make a book hard to put down: an exciting, suspensful plot, appealing characters who make you care about them, and easy to understand information about a fascinating subject, in this case, astrology. I was sorry when it ended. My hat is off to the author. Her command of dialogue constantly made me feel that this book would make an excellent film or mini series.

This novel successfully crosses genres, and is filled with drama, mystery, romance & intrigue. The science fictional elements come into play only late in the story yet are integral in making all the various story lines come together. The use of astrology throughout the book is represented in terms and language that are completely accessible to the layman, yet are done with the thoroughness of one who is an expert in the field. The debate between science versus astrology is approached through the protagonist's personal relationship as well as her credibility to the public at large. And Barbara Shafferman is likely to expand a few minds along the way. This is a "must read" for all and is a fine first novel for the author. Highly Recommended.

A wonderful blend of future gagets, politics, spin, astrology, and romance within a complex and intense adventure. I could not put this one down and enjoyed every page. BRAVO!!!

I received this book as a gift and couldn't put it down until I finished it. It was very suspenseful and extremely well written. Although, I'm not particularly interested in astrology, the small amount of references to this subject in no way stood in the way of the flow of the story. I'd recommend it unconditionally to those that like astrology and to those who don't.

I really enjoyed The President's Astrologer. It's the best political novel I've read in a long time. It's a fast read -- exciting and suspense filled. And you don't have to know anything about astrology to enjoy it.

It is amazing that this novel didn't get snapped up by a major publisher, but perhaps a film maker will be smart and option it. I haven't read something this fascinating and surprising in quite a while. It's a bit of "Air Force One" mixed with Ray Bradbury and a little new age awareness. Very enjoyable, and highly recommended.

Nancy Regan first had our attention when the news reported that she sought an astrologer to advise the president. Wait until you read how the President himself commissions an astrologer in the year 2006 and how a significant discovery is unvailed in the process. It was fun to find out.

I truly enjoyed The President's Astrologer. The story was fascinating and incredibly imaginative. There's even a little romance involved. The characters were wonderful and each page held my interest til the very end. I highly recommend this novel. Men and women both will love it!
