Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The term "turgid prose" could have been invented for this book. Pitifully executed--ridiculous plot and sub-plot, hackneyed language, juvenile sex scenes, cardboard characters--this book could have been published only by a vanity press or because the author has a "name" (or perhaps is owed a big favor by someone in publishing...and hopefully, that debt is now paid). This book is so bad, I began to think it was a Washington insider joke: Let's see who can write the truly worst -ever political thriller and get it published. I normally don't write reviews but I'm so annoyed that such an awful book has come to be published that I want to warn others. Save your money.
