When small town South Dakota girl Allison Amundson is hired to be the scheduler for newly elected Senator Anders McDermott III, she can't believe her luck. After all, she'll be working in the big leagues in the nation's capital. It doesn't take long for Allison to discover, however, that she is overworked, underpaid, and surrounded by crazy people. And, when the Senator decides to make a run at the presidency, Allison's job gets a whole lot crazier!
At first, I didn't think that I was going to like Capital Hell (Beaver's Pond Press, 2012). Authors Jayne Jones and Alicia Long start the book with a gushy tone (too! many! exclamation points!) that is just a bit over the top. Before long, however, the story hits its stride, and you can't help but get caught up in Allison's adventures with high maintenance politicians and dysfunctional co-workers. If you're feeling a little battered by the current election season, Capital Hell may be just the political laugh you need.
I received a complimentary copy of Capital Hell to facilitate my review. No other compensation was received. For full disclosure, see the sidebar.

Sounds interesting, but I've had just about all the politics I can stand without reading about it for pleasure! Great review, MZ, as always!!

But thanks for asking...:P
Interesting.
I could use some laughs now, but I'm about ready to give up on politics for a while. (We voted early.)
It sounds very interesting. I will try to order it online, here in Sicily it is not available. I found you through my friend Joyful and I'm now following you.
