Condor One
This book was so dumb it was painful. It was a really not disguised at all opportunity for the author to rail against the Bush administration and talk about what he would do as president. Now I agree with him politically and have the same harsh words for Bush et al, but this was just boring. A ton of time was spent with speeches--the actual full speech! And with logistics about his days. Dullsville. It was also WAY too simplistic. I don't think the author really grasped how hard it is to accomplish radical things in office and how much work the president does. This character slept way too much and had a weekend off in his first month. Yeah, sure. Plus, he thought pulling out of Iraq would start within hours of being ordered.
The promised thriller aspects just didn't surface. Something would suddenly happen and the danger would be over before there was any suspense. It was ridiculous. The way the relationship went was silly, too, being at first just fun, with the protagonist coveting other guys and then in the next breath in love. (Doubt I'm spoiling anything there. That much was obvious from the description.)
1.5 stars rounded up to two because I did finish it and because it was better than Twilight.
