Comedy writer and middle daughter of Al Gore, Kristin Gore has written a funny and moving debut novel about life on Capitol Hill as seen through the eyes of Samantha Joyce, a twenty-six year old health care analyst to Ohio Junior Senator Robert Gary. Hard working, idealistic, extremely competent as well as neurotic and prone to daydreaming, Sammy, as she's known to her friends, has little time for anything, much less a relationship. But in the midst of lobbying and late-night dinners at the office, she meets Aaron Driver, who is hot, smart, and sweet, and who, after a night of binge drinking at a bachelor party, proclaims his love for her. But how will Sammy balance her seventy-plus hour weeks with her budding romance, while keeping her best friend's slimy boyfriend from hitting on her, and making time for family, who insist her outfits match the centerpiece.

With Sammy's Hill, Kristin Gore has proven that she can move from story writer of the greatest television show in history (obviously - Futurama), to novelist in just a couple years. Her main character is charmingly quirky and you can't help realizing you are very similar to her in so many of her quirks.

The politics/storyline are also termendous fun, if, as her character is, a bit too fanciful. As we've learned so recently, the good guys don't always come out on top when it comes to politics, and selling a progressive agenda to the American people doesn't always work out. If you're a raving convervative, you will be likely be offended and turned off by Ms. Gore's idealism and politics, so you might want to steer clear of this one.

The narration is very well done and a delight to listen to, very complimentary of the writing.

All in all this is a wonderful novel, and lets us know we can expect more great things from Ms. Gore as time goes on. Hopefully Futurama gets a second life somehow, as well as Ms. Gore's relatives!

A delightful book, if a bit fanciful...

Loved it -- both the writing and the narrating. Can't wait for another winner from Kristin Gore. Or has she already published another?

Great listen!

Sammy’s Hill is one of my very favorite books. I first read it years ago, and I had forgotten how much I love it. The main character is quirky and eccentric in a good way, in my opinion. I laughed throughout the book.

One of my favorite books

No, it's not an intense drama about DC life or the funniest book I've ever read but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Yes, the character pretends she's armless, blind and stricken with various other anomalies but who of us haven't wondered what life would be like if we were stricken? So Sammy plays them out a little. She's a young girl living on her own in a new and fast paced situation and she has a hard time thinking she's worthy of such a position. It's comical and I found myself laughing several times on my way to work - that itself has to be a feat! She does get in some sneaky political statements but they even tend to provoke a smile. It's great for a lighthearted listen.

Enjoyable listen!

I'm always please to see an unabridged book added to the library. I was hesitant about this one though, as its author was potentially published due to celebrity instead of talent. However, this book was well narrated and well written. In fact, I would listen to a sequel. Except for a few over the top liberal rants & raves that were a little too political for a romantic comedy (even one about D.C. staffers!) I give this book TWO THUMBS UP.

Very good listen all around!
