Review: The Appeal

The Appeal by John Grisham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

We've all been bombarded by political ads on TV, radio and social media. Our mailboxes and emails have been filled with glossy pamphlets and post cards showing candidates for all sorts of offices. Almost all of them show the candidate with his/her family or glad handing constituents or roaming in some pastoral setting or urban neighborhood, usually one that is impoverished and filled with minority voters. Well, read this book if you'd like an insight into how those ads, pamphlets etc come into being--what sham groups are organized to be listed as sponsors, or where the money comes from, or if not clear how the donors are hidden from view. They all do it--no matter the party--and we are all hood-winked into giving our vote to the" best " i.e. most honest candidate. Ha
