ELECTION (Tom Perrotta) - May 29/06

Following his brilliant Little Children, Perrotta has completely proven himself as an amazing writer in my eyes. Election is a concisely written, thoroughly entertaining novel that's over way too soon. All the characters are perfectly drawn and their respective arcs are wonderfully done. And the book is often genuinely funny, and we really come to care for these people. Where's the sequel? **** out of ****
