"The Best Laid Plans" is a satirical novel of Canadian politics written by Terry Fallis. It recounts the unlikely and amusing alliance between a 30-something burnt out, jaded political staffer, and an older, cantankerous, engineering professor. Driven by a federal election and the life of the resulting minority conservative government, the novel moves between the small town of Cumberland, Ontario on the shores of the Ottawa River, and the nation's capital. While the characters and their exploits are often comical, serious ideas on politics and democracy underlie the fun. For more information on the novel and author, visit www.terryfallis.com.

I cannot believe it took me this long to read this book! I think it was the politics that threw me off from reading it. You see, I was not a fan of politics. that is, until now! I actually got emotional at the End of This Book and that, if anyone knows me, does not ever happen! well done Terry!

It's Oct. 15, 2010 & here in the USA we are in the midst of a bizarre Liberal political mess! Listening to Best Laid Plans has let me laugh at politicians again! It is a very pleasant diversion from the nonsense that is really happening in politics here!
