Supreme Courtship Audiobook

" Classic Buckley. So good "

" Although not as strong as some of his other novels, Buckley is in fine form. This time his novel, 'Supreme Courtship', pokes fun at the United States' most venerable institution, the Supreme Court, and as usual, Buckley is spot on in capturing the absurdity, while sounding totally plausible, of politics in the Beltway, and the media that covers it. 'Supreme Courtship' kept me giggling all the way through, and was the perfect summer book--light (literally, too, at only 285 pages) and entertaining. "

" Light, easy read. Lawyers will probably enjoy it more than non-lawyers because of all the law related jokes. Basically, a sassy Fordham Law grad manages to get on the Supreme Court and causes all sorts of trouble. Definitely recommend. "

" Very entertaining. Maybe not literature for all time, but provided a chuckling Saturday afternoon. "

" Vintage Buckley. Fun, easy read. "

" Great idea, lame execution. Not up to his usual standard. "

" Classic Buckley - snarky, cheeky and just within the realm of plausible. The second half wasn't as strong as the first, but I thoroughly enjoyed this as an antidote to election week reality. "

" Quite good and kept me guessing. "

" This is so much fun to read in mid-Oct. of 2008. How did the author come up with his own "Sarah Palin" for the Supreme Court? He must be so pleased with himself! Lots of fun and also things to consider. "

" Extremely funny, laugh out loud satire of current political scene. "

" I think if I were a lawyer I would've given it 5 stars but it's still very funny and a very fast read. "

" Christopher Buckley, the author of Thank You For Smoking, is a hilarious and ironic author. Fun vacation read. "

" Not great literature, but great fun! Enjoyed thoroughly. Audio book read by Anne Hecht. "

" Very funny political satire. Frustrated by senate resistance to confirming qualified nominees for the Supreme Court, the president nominates a Judge Judy sort of tv judge. Buckley is very funny about American media, politics, courts and court cases, etc. "

" This book is hilarious. After several supreme court nominees are rejected, TV judge Pepper Cartwright is chosen for the job. "

" This was great fun to read. "

" Buckley made Latin and the SCOTUS rather fun. "

" Absolutely love Christopher Buckley. I get the inescapable feeling so much of his absurdity about the inner workings of Washington is true. He is consistently hilarious. "

" Having read this book immediately after reading Sandra Day O'Connor's memoir enhanced my enjoyment. It is witty, ironic and rather rude. I loved it. I believe in mixing up the books and making sure I have one now and again that makes me laugh outloud. "

" Absolutely laugh out loud funny, and begging to be a movie. "

" I just liked the premise: female TV judge nominated to become a justice of the Supreme Court who turns out to be a pretty durned good justice. "

" Fun, snarky, almost too pithy. "

" hmm....rasanya kalu baca Chistopher Buckley emang wajib ketawa nih... humornya yang sinis bikin sakit perut.walaupun istilah hukumnya banyak banget (in LATIN!!!) tapi tancap terusssss. hehehehehe... "

" Funny and witty but not a particularly special or impressive piece of literature. "

" Quite good and kept me guessing. "

" I just couldn't do it. I don't think I do satirical novels very well bc I find it difficult to waste time with over-the-top characters with little to no redeeming qualities.If you like satire and politics, you might like this. "

" ahhhh a fan of Mr. Buckley. learned a lot of Latin phrases.... this book is educational and amusing. "

" First time for Buckley. He began with an interesting premise and it was fun reading until he started tossing in a lot of courtroom mumbo jumbo that just got boring. Some good stuff in between that at least kept me reading to the end. "

" Better than Boomsday by far, although not as strong a concept ( I sometimes think the concept for Boomsday should become law). Clever shoutouts to his dad thrown into the text for good measure. About as good as 'Thank you for smoking'. "

" A little dissapointing as it comes following the wonder and fun of Boomsday. Still has moments that will cause laughter and the satire is razor sharp "

" Very funny. A good book to read when you need some humor and escape from reality! "

" I know I really enjoyed this when I read it, but I can't remember why. It might just be that I really enjoy Christopher Buckley. "

" Sassy, good fun. The tale of what would happen if a TV judge landed on the Supreme Court. "

" The book had some moments of genius and great humor. I can tell that I'll like his other work as well, but this book in a whole seemed to fall short on wit, and story. "

" Great fun read. Buckley's political experience provides an excellent satirical insight into the Washington DC he knows. "
