Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Now back in print: The prophetic comic novel of Presidential politics and mischief-making twin daughters. Hailed by Midwest Book Review as 'a witty, inventive, unique, engaging, laugh-a-minute novel of pure delight.' From the author of the underground cult classic 'Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp.'



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - remarkable characters, unique story.
Although the background of this story is American politics, one need not know anything, or be interested in politics to enjoy this book. A joyous read for teenagers or adults, though more for the female readers, this book follows twin teenage girls with contrasting persona's, and their whimsical friends who you either hate or love from the very very first introduction. C D Payne is a master at capturing the reader from the starting line of his novels, and never allows any boredom. Some authors go into great detail to describe the exact particular spring morning, this you will not find, and Paynes language is uniquely creative, and mindbogglingly cool but not aimed at visualizing a tree, but at the fantastic characters, and the inside of their idiosyncratic minds, and their absurd surroundings. A terrific read, equally good as Youth in Revolt, a sort of female version of Nick Twisp, and very sexy book too.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Very funny read, but...
This book was quite ammusing and I did enjoy it. My only problem with this book is that C.D. Payne has women characters that are somewhat vindictive and very manipulative. I found the characters in civic beuties to be a little to manipulative. I would recommend this book, but with a condition...READ YOUTH IN REVOLT FIRST, so you can see this author at his very best.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - So boring....
I loved Youth in Revolt, which made me laugh a lot, but this book was so boring that I didn't even read the last 50 pages - and that hardly ever happens to me.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I loved "Youth in Revolt" and "Revolting Youth", and so I guess I had very high expectations of this book. After only about 50 pages I found myself struggling to continue. It isnt a bad book, but is definitely missing something when you compare it to the brilliance of the aforementioned titles.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Funny!
CD Payne can make you laugh out loud at his style of writing. I love how you can figure out what happened, without him having to say so.
