...fairly serious attempt to penetrate the mind of the sort of loser who, if properly manipulated, can be turned into a political assassin. Now the book has fallen into the heavy hands of Director Stanley Kramer, and, despite Kennedy's presence at the screenwriter's keyboard, everything that made the book good, popular fiction has somehow been lost...

When embroidering such assumptions, Wolfe rarely sounds serious. Anyone who can describe Jimmy Carter's brand of religious faith as "Missionary lecternpounding Amenten-finger C-major chord Sister-Martha-at-the-Yamaha keyboard loblolly pineywoods Baptist" has not succumbed to ideological portentousness.
