			        		&quot;One of the funniest writers in the English language.&quot;&#x2015;Tom Wolfe&quot;The quintessential political novelist of our time.&quot;&#x2015;Fortune&quot;An accomplished comic novelist and raucously funny political satirist.&quot;&#x2015;Sunday Times of London&quot;One of the rarest political specimens-- the authentically comic writer.&quot;&#x2015;Boston GlobeBuckley&apos;s ingenious and mischievous tale of a Washington shakeup via an injection of good old American authenticity is funny and entertaining . . . clever, merry, escapist.&#x2015;Booklist&quot;The premise of Christopher Buckley&apos;s new political comedy, Supreme Courtship, isn&apos;t all that far-fetched. In fact... this novel could more accurately be called near-fetched -- disarmingly, hilariously so... You&apos;ll be belly-laughing through Buckley&apos;s byzantine plot, which includes Peester v. Spendo-Max Corp., a case in which a male shoplifter stuffing merchandise into a burqa sues the Reno police force for racial and religious profiling, and ends with the Supreme Court deciding a presidential election. As the president sighs, &quot;It&apos;s not as though we haven&apos;t been there before.&quot; Last go-around, it wasn&apos;t quite so uproarious.&quot;&#x2015;Lisa Zeidner, The Washington Post&quot;Hilarious . . . the book is full of wry observations on the follies of Washington high life. What makes it laugh-out-loud funny is Buckley&apos;s sense of how little you have to exaggerate to make Washington seem absurd.&quot;&#x2015;New York Daily News&quot;Christopher Buckley is America&apos;s greatest living political satirist. That&apos;s my story, and I&apos;m sticking to it . . . Just take my word for it, and the word is: delicious.&quot;&#x2015;Adam Woog, Seattle Times&quot;What sets Buckley apart is his ability to mock Washington yet convey a genuine admiration for many of its residents . . . Buckley remains hilarious.&quot;&#x2015;USA Today&quot;[Supreme Courtship] is full of such tasty nuggets, along with arcane Latin phrases and mirth-inducing names like Blyster Forkmorgan . . . One of the book&apos;s telling points is that he never mentions which poltical parties these folks represent, and you realize it doesn&apos;t much matetr. When you are sketching a political cartton, donkeys and elephants alike are juicy targets.&quot;&#x2015;Hartford Courant

### ⭐⭐⭐ Does the Supreme Court really operate like this? I wonder . . .
            
*by M***K on November 27, 2017*

The President of the United States, Donald P. Vanderdamp, has an approval rating barely above twenty. Congress, and politicians of both parties, despise him, because he has vetoed every spending bill that reached his desk. In retaliation, the Senate has rejected the two eminently qualified jurists he nominated for an open seat on the Supreme Court. All he wants to do is move back home to Wapakoneta, Ohio, where he can go bowling as often as he wishes. His term is almost up. About all that remains is to find someone who can gain the approval of the Senate for that Supreme Court slot.Enter Judge Perdita "Pepper" Cartwright, star of the top-rated reality TV show, Courtroom Six. While searching for a bowling show on television over a weekend at Camp David, President Vanderdamp chances upon Pepper's show and is immediately enchanted. Now in her mid-thirties, Pepper is uncommonly facile with the English language—and uncommonly attractive. The President is convinced the Senate won't dare reject her nomination, given her sky-high Q rating.This is the set-up in Supreme Courtship, Christopher Buckley's satirical treatment of the U.S. Supreme Court. No reader will be surprised to learn that Pepper is, in fact, named to the Court. Then, of course, the real fun begins. The novel is amusing and even hilarious at times. On the whole, though, it's not one of Buckley's best.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ laugh out loud funny
            
*by J***Y on December 7, 2018*

Laugh out loud funny in the beginning. Unfortunately, the humor tapered off as the story progressed.I would have liked to see Pepper continue in her irreverent vein, with the same down-home, down-to earth humor and snappy dialogue she exhibited at the start. The story was good, however , and  I do highly recommend this book
  

### ⭐⭐ Disappointing
            
*by J***L on September 16, 2008*

I ordered this book after seeing an interview with Christopher Buckley on the CBS Sunday Morning show. I have enjoyed several of his past efforts and this one sounded like a natural after hearing his explanation of his latest effort at satire.Getting nominations to the US Supreme Court approved in the US when a Republican is President and the Democrats are in charge of the Senate has become politcal theater at it's worst since the nomination of Judge Robert Bork. Getting "borked" has become a verb in the English language and it is with that as background that Buckley sets out to take Washington to task once again.The president in this novel has become so angered by the perfunctory manner in which two sterling nominees were turned down by the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by a Senator who himself wants to be appointed, that he names The Hon. Pepper Cartwright to the Supreme Court vacancy. Cartwright is the TV judge of a hit television show and wildly popular with the American public.That, to me, sounded like a story line that couldn't miss as great satire but alas and alak, I found this book often hitting wide of the target. Not that there aren't some hilarious parts to the book, but they were widely spaced and often disconnected from the central story.I really wanted to like this book. Buckley confided to Leslie Stahl in his interview that his late father, William F. Buckley, Jr. was not a fan of his satire. Until this book, I would have disagreed with that sentiment. I hope his next effort finds him returning to form.
