Eighteen Acres: A Novel

I bought this book because I liked "It's Classified," and I just didn't get into the plot as I did with the second book. Didn't finish it.

You will love this book! Great female characters-she explores the strengths as well as the hurdles of the professional woman. Awesome book for the female cable news junkie:-) Really, I loved it, can't wait for her next book!

Enjoyed reading this book. It gave us a look into what it takes to run the White House from a aides prospective. How a president can rise above scandal with the help of the staffers.

I really enjoyed this book. It moved along at a quick pace and the narrator really did a good job. The authors inside knowledge of the West Wing was very interesting. I am looking forward to her next book.

You will not find any tremendous insights with Nicole Wallace's version of a female presidency under-pressure. The scandals are believable, the action exciting, and the story bubble-gum enough to be quite satisfying.

This book is light and easy, and the plot is fast paced and well developed. This book is good satirical fiction, and I enjoyed it beyond my expectations.

There are plenty of great plot twists, and the ending is not so obvious at first.

Crank it up to 3x as the writing is not dense at all.

Really enjoyed the story of President Charlotte Kramer, her Chief of Staff Melanie Kingston and television journalist Dale Smith. The story of their intertwined lives was not only enjoyable fiction; it was thought-provoking sociology. Looking forward to the sequel!

I don't want to insult anyone by suggesting that they would enjoy it.

If not for the reader, who was very pleasant, I would never have finished this book.

Anger that anyone would publish this silly book, sadness that I paid for it and wasted my time listening to it, disappointment that this wasn't some juicy, guilty pleasure read that I was expecting. This was a sad soap opera with nothing redeeming about it. The only original idea the author (?) had was that the majority of political leaders were women. So what? No one really had any political thoughts (other than some sad Republican cliches) and no one conducted business as women. The author should be ashamed of herself for this drivel.

Don't buy this.

I heard about this book on "The O'Reilly Factor" and have to say the first part I downloaded was ok....the second part did not improve and the ending was so highly improbable and "fairy tale" like it turned me off....listen to something else, not this.

I listened to this novel all the way through, in the hopes that the characters or the plot might develop into some kind of depth, but alas...no way.

I loved the idea of a storyline of politics with all women, but Wallace's portrayal of the main women characters is so shallow and "romance novel meek" that it was impossible to believe they had gotten themselves to the powerful positions into which she had written them.

Their reactions to the plot events are so unpolitical AND unprofessional that I just had to laugh! I decided to keep reading to the end, just in case the author had some hidden agenda of character development...but, alas, no...shallow in, shallow out.

Do NOT waste your time or money on this one, it is as gutless and disappointing as most of our political system!!

I'd give the story itself 4 stars it's well written and flows well though a little feminine for my taste but this story is indeed about 3 women; Nicole Wallace did a great job for her first novel. The narration on the other hand could've been better.
