"Scathing . . . What keeps the pages turning in this so freshly familiar story line is the vivid observation and original turns of phrase."
--San Francisco Chronicle "Incisive and often incredibly funny . . . Matt Taibbi is the spiritual heir of legendary presidential campaign scribes Hunter S. Thompson and Tim Crouse. . . .
Insane Clown President is a valuable work about one of the most bizarre electoral outcomes in American history."
--Santa Barbara Independent "A lively set of dispatches [that] unfolds as a comedy [but] slowly turns into a horror movie."
--Kirkus Reviews "Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing."
--Publishers Weekly
