"In his insider's account of the Bush operation he employs the same tone of breathless enthusiasm and raw humor that towel-snapping adolescents use in the locker room after a game....So THE BIG ENCHILADA has its shortcomings, and if you are like me, they will be the first thing you notice. But if you persevere, you may well find yourself learning to accept Mr. Stevens for what he is, an appealing monomaniac, obsessed with polls.
