This is the second Michael Murphy book I've read in as many days.And it was huge fun. It's not an epic, but Mr. Murphy's uncanny ability to deal with serious and powerful subjects in the context of a damned good story continues to amaze and delight me.I loved the characters. And the main topic - the appointment and confirmation of the first-ever openly gay Supreme Court Justice - could not be timed better, coming right on the heels of the recent DOMA and Prop 8 rulings.It's a charming book. I got an out-loud laugh at the MC's attempts at dating. And then it does get serious, at exactly the right point, and it moved me to both tears and hope.Please do read this one. It's a treasure.
