One recommendation, one not:
YES: Race of A Lifetime, almost a follow up to Primary Colours, the fabulous, gossipy, fascinating story of Obama, Hillary, Palin, Edwards and McCain racing for the White House in 2008. It’s just incredible- as Obama himself said at one point, ‘this would be a fascinating story, if you didn’t have to live it’. Even makes you feel sorry for Palin, dumped into a world she didn’t understand and frantically missing her baby. It’s an absolute classic, and how fantastic that a story this good gets writers who can do it justice.
NO: I won’t put the title or the author’s name as it’s a horrible thing to google yourself and come across something unpleasant, to which one would say, don’t google yourself, to which one would also say, HA!
Anyway, if you loved Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, do not be tempted to pick up the recent sequel. If you didn’t or haven’t read it, I can’t even imagine how incomprehensible it would be to you. An utter disaster of a book.
