Publisher's Summary:
With help from her friends - the irascible gray cat Pewter, the wise corgi Tee Tucker, and Tally, the exuberant Jack Russell - Sneaky crisscrosses her home state of Virginia hoping to go where no cat since Socks Clinton has gone: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In the tradition of her heroine, Sojourner Truth, she takes her case to the masses. Journeying from the lair of the red-shouldered hawk to the nest of the tufted titmouse, from a pasture full of curmudgeonly cows to the stately halls of Monticello, the tenacious tiger cat even secures the chattering support of Thomas Jeffersons mice. Mice backing a cat for president? Yes, we can!
Now, if Sneaky can get the animal community to band together for the common good, why not the humans? After all, who better to get the economy purring again than an honest tabby with authentic political stripes? Human candidates have had their chance in Washington, with dubious results of late: Nowhere does it say in the Constitution that the president cannot be a cat.
Members Reviews:
This is a political commentary.
This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone looking for political commentary, not a mystery.
Would you ever listen to anything by Rita Mae Brown again?
Yes, but not in this genre.
How could the performance have been better?
Never finished it.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment and a bit of anger that this was billed as a Sneaky Pie mystery. I kept listening for the story line--there is none, just commentary by the usual Sneaky Pie characters. Not at all what I was looking for.
Not a Mrs. Murphy Book
What would have made Sneaky Pie for President better?
The blurb indicated it was a Mrs Murphy story, it is not. I would never have purchased this had I known that up front. I love Mrs Murphy and the interaction between the animals and humans. This is the worst Rita Mae Brown book I have read, and I have read most of her fiction works including Venus Envy.
Would you ever listen to anything by Rita Mae Brown again?
yes.
What does Kate Forbes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Kate Forbes always does a good job on the Rita Mae Brown books she reads
Awful awful awful
What would have made Sneaky Pie for President better?
Having a story not a political commercial
What was most disappointing about Rita Mae Browns story?
This was not a story all in the animals voice
Any additional comments?
Don't waste your money or a credit. I listened to the whole thing hoping for an improvement
Not a mystery
Dissapointing - This is no mystery but a political statement. I loved this series with Mrs. Murphy. But I missed her! Well, I cannot tell for sure if she ever appeared in this book, because I got out after an hour or so.
This Volume should not be set in the Series of Mrs. Murphy. It should be the first one in the 'co-author' Sneaky Pie Brown
Very Unlike Sneaky
What disappointed you about Sneaky Pie for President?
I wanted a good Sneaky Pie mystery, not a political diatribe on the issues facing us today.
