The Cougar Candidate

Equal opportunities satirical fiction where neither side is better than the other! I found this a very enjoyable read and would welcome a sequel. Though the characters are completely flawed and the anti-heroine Patty Pitypander is just that, you can't help somehow rooting for her at times, as the author managed to make her funny, vulnerable and a scheming sleazy politician at the same time. Add to this her casino owning husband, a naive young reporter and the dodgy current president and you have a winning cast of characters. Loved the scene where she attempted to speak Spanish and some of her political ideas were absolutely crazy. I thought the plotting was good too, and kept me reading. Will look out for more of the author's work.
