Review:
'Hilarious...like a wittier West Wing, Boomsday takes a rollicking, entertaining look at the machinations inside Washington...ultimately a very successful satire' OBSERVER'Mischievously funny...this screwball caper blends the downright ridiculous with the ridiculously plausible to morbid yet hilarious effect' DAILY MAIL'Buckley displays his usual talent for converting America's political controversies into hilarious caricatures...highly diverting' GUARDIAN'If you really want to read about spin in all its cynical glory, then ditch your Alastair Campbell doorstops and buy this lacerating satire instead. You'll laugh your ass - sorry, arse - off.' NEW STATESMAN
