Quick wit

Timely
Superb acting
Brilliant no matter your politics
What a great series this turned out to be. While the Democratic party is in office in this series, both of the main parties are consistently represented and often the independent viewpoint is tossed in too in this dramatic series.
I love the quick dialogue and sophisticated wit. Martin Sheen does a fabulous job portraying the President. The series has drama, scandal, romance, and comedy. Smart entertainment is so refreshing!

An interesting premise
Dragged a bit (1 more)
A little too heavy for a comedy
Dark surreal dystopian comedies need more humor
Good, not quite as darkly funny as I expected, seemed more concerned with the politics and "rules of the universe" than entirely necessary which kind of messed with the pacing dragged the humor a little bit. Other people were having a hard time understanding the world as built, anyway, so it seems a bit of wasted effort.

In the 100th year of women gaining the vote in the UK, this book is ideal for introducing young people to one of the leading names in that struggle. As a book in a school library or classroom, available for project work or a book borrowed from a library by an active parent, this book gives the background without being too over the top with the politics, allowing curious minds to question and discussions about equality and rights to follow.
Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated Collision 2012: Obama vs. Romney and the Future of Elections in America in Books

Glad I read this. The author provides an entertaining and informative look at what went on behind the scenes in the many, <i>many</i> months leading up to the 2012 Presidential election. It is fascinating to learn exactly what the candidates and their advisers were thinking when they decided to take various actions throughout the campaign. It is also impressive that there is little, if any, bias apparent throughout. This is a must read for anyone that follows politics at all.

I am a nerd for cli fi. This was a very well written and researched book but it told a story not just information overload. The characters were from different backgrounds and therefore had different perspectives on the events as they happened. The fact that politics, buisness, and science all were addressed in the book shows the author understands that events like this(even though fictional, for now) effect everyone. He had a very global perspective and the consequences were a bit frightening.

I made it about 100 pages in, then lost patience. The story began well enough, then got bogged down in planetary politics and industrial intrigue. Too many people are introduced, but the reader is given no reason to care about them. I probably would have enjoyed reading about the "replaced" character far more than the protagonist. Too bad--I adored Riva from [book:Mathemagics], and would love to read more in that universe, but otherwise it seems that Ball's work just isn't for me.
