Spence Tailor, a lawyer with an actual set of principals, loves his mama, Rose. Rose--with advanced cardiomyopathy and a rare blood type--is scheduled for a heart transplant. But when the president's heart craps out during a photo op three months before the national election, the White House chief of staff orders the FBI to seize the heart that was going to Rose--all in the name of democracy. But Spence isn't about to let anybody steal what rightfully belongs to his mom. So with the help of his reluctant older brother, they hijack the heart, inadvertently kidnap a beautiful cardiac surgery resident, and take to the road in a '65 Mustang--with all the president's men in potentially murderous pursuit. --Kinky Friedman, author of Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned

If you're looking for an easy, whacky kind of book that portrays politcians as the bad guys this may be one to choose. It was fast paced and quick to get through. When I would describe the plot sequence to my friends they would get a good chuckle. I enjoyed most of the characters too (although some I couldn't figure out why they were in the story) I might have given it 4 stars except I felt it could have been 100 pages shorter (enough already) and due to the fact some innocent bystanders were killed whereas an injury might have achieved the same effect-I know that sounds odd but read the book and you'll know what I'm trying to say here. This was my first of Fitzhugh's book and will probably pick up another for a time that I really need time to pass quickly.
