I saw notice first about this book linked to gun control on twitter. Although a topical and emotional subject given recent events, it could have also been dry and boring if not handled correctly. But I felt myself first of all drawn in by Josette's drama with her son, then the rest: ATF, right-left battle lines over gun control and the hectic lobbying brought the debate to life wonderfully.The action too is mean-edged and almost non-stop so there's little time to draw breath between that and the debate. The Oxford debate-Vice-President link to get the thesis to take root inside the White House was particularly well handled. Liked the touch too of a right-wing plant inside the FBI. Wondered if some of that might be taken from real-life.
