Meet the residents of Gammage, New York, a town on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, when inspiration strikes. Why not go native, and open a casino? With Not Enough Indians, actor, writer, producer, and former Saturday Night Live cast member Harry Shearer joins the ranks of such comedian/authors as Steve Martin and Michael Palin with a brilliantly funny, whip-smart satire of greed, collusion, distrust, and betrayal in the halls of Washington and the casinos of Native America.

"Just like the book I read by Chris Elliot, I thought this would be funnier. It was still a decent enough read, but it didn't match the wit and humor I expected from this very funny and intelligent person." — H (4 out of 5 stars)
"Just like the book I read by Chris Elliot, I thought this would be funnier. It was still a decent enough read, but it didn't match the wit and humor I expected from this very funny and intelligent person."
" Love this style of humor. Reminds me of John Welter's fiction. "
" Nicely done, Harry. The satire hits home, but the off-the-cuff similes and metaphors make it a delight. "
" A satire about corruption, deception, corporations, and the Native American way. Good enough to finish, but not great enough to rave about. "
" I thought this was going to be good but was disappointed. "
" I wanted so much to love this book and it kind of pains me to give it one star...but i couldn't even finish it. I love Harry Shearer and I could go on about his talents, just not his fiction writing talents. "
" I think Harry Shearer is terrific. However, I had a hard time getting into this piece of fiction. I don't lke his fiction style. It had great reveiws "brilliant and crisp page turner".... NOT! "
" I liked it. We heard it on an audio recording in the car. It was hard to hear some parts that were quieter because of the road noise, but I would still recommend it. "
" Just an average book on the politics of Indian Casinos and the whole Indian Affairs. What I thought would be a funny book turned into a dull read with little humor, except the NPR lady. "
" Not for the easily offended. It made me laugh. "
" Wow...coudln't have been more disappointed in this one. THOUGHT it would b e funny since I think Harry Shearer is funny...but nope...it was LAME...SO much potential too... "
" Satire. Made me chuckle but not laugh out loud. I think the Simpsons was the sale. "
" Good quick little read. Funny especially if you're in the Gaming/gambling biz. "
" Harry Shearer tries to drop even more annoying uber-hip, po-culture references the that douche bag Tom Robbins. However, he still manages to put out a half-decent story with some funny satire. And I'm pretentious enough to feel good about myself for reading about "native american" culture. "
" this book sounds good, I went to a reading by Harry Shearer himself, and he signed my copy.... cool.... "
" more like not enough laughs. blah "
" Good little read (def. little). Funny, entertaining, but not totally there. He could've done SO much more. But it's a good first effort for Harry Shearer. "
" Nothing particularly enlightening about this book. Mildly funny at parts and excellent pop-culture references. Struck me as a slightly less-entertaining Christopher Moore. "
" A good read, but not as sharp as one would expect from Harry Shearer. Radio is definitely his medium. "
" This book has some laughs in it. It's just that I expected a lot more from Harry Shearer. "
" Very funny novel about a bankrupt town pretending to be native americans so that they can build a csino in their town "
