Gore...Bore...

Kristin Gore’s debut novel “Sammy’s Hill” was filled with witty humor and political puns. And yes, this is Al Gore’s daughter!

Politics are a subject I very much enjoy, so I was trying to find the “true” politicians in Gore’s characters. Is she talking about Bush? Clinton? Kerry?

This book could have used some additional character development, the characters were shallow and difficult to like. Overall, I liked Gore’s voice, but felt the comedy was very overdone and became tiresome.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to any serious reader, but if you need a fun, “fluff” read, this works in a pinch (although it still wouldn't be a top pick for in a pinch).
