Boomsday

"...a scrumptiously shrewd and hilarious political satire that takes bold measure of the newly widening generation gap and politics even worse than usual." -- ―«Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) "A lethally sharp satire . . . The more you ponder the novel's outrageous premise, the more seriously you might take it." -- ―Don McLeese, Kirkus Reviews, Spring/Summer Preview, 2007 "An accomplished comic novelist and raucously funny political satirist." -- --Sunday Times of London "Christopher Buckley has come up with the season's best subject for a novel: euthanasia." -- ―Adam Begley, New York Observer "One of the funnist writers in the English language." -- --Tom Wolfe "One of the rarest specimens -- the authentically comic writer." -- --Boston Globe "The humor is wicked and the satire incisive." -- ―Sandra Kent, Boston Herald "The quintessential political novelist of our time." -- --Fortune magazine "Washington is a serious place. That is, it used to be, until the novels of Christopher Buckley came along." -- ―Jeremy Grant, Financial Times Exquisitely dizzy, Wodehouse-style mischief...one of Mr. Buckley's fizziest satires..." -- --Janet Maslin, The New York Times
