Book Review of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House: Foolhardiness, Folly, and Fraud in the Presidential Elections, from Andrew Jackson to George W. Bush

reviewed on + 38 more book reviews


The blurb on the back of this book claimed that according to the National Enquirer (should have tipped me off right then!) it was a laugh a minute. I don't think I laughed once--writing style was dry and tedious. It didn't help that political elections don't interest me all that much, I picked it up more for the historical aspect.
