Beginning with the 1996 New Hampshire primary, Lewis tagged along with players both major and minor. Keeping his eyes open to the nuances of how campaigns are so carefully managed today, Lewis is able to make some insightful, damning, and often hysterically funny observations. The reporting technique is eccentric--who else would spend so much time with Morry Taylor, a rich man who ran for president in what amounted to a vanity campaign--but it works. Lewis has written a very good book that could be shelved under both humor and public affairs. 609217 27 5 1997 Trail Fever: Spin doctors, rented strangers, thumb wrestlers, toe suckers, grizzly bears, and other creatures on the road to the White H total:40|5:12|4:19|3:9|2:0|1:0| 40 163 66 6 485613 0679446605 9780679446606 39 6 Trail Fever: Spin doctors, rented strangers, thumb wrestlers, toe suckers, grizzly bears, and other creatures on the road to the White H 4.08 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223663816m/485613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/485613.Trail_Fever_Spin_doctors_rented_strangers_thumb_wrestlers_toe_suckers_grizzly_bears_and_other_creatures_on_the_road_to_the_White_H 4 0 false Sat Dec 27 06:47:03 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 07:08:08 -0800 2008
