L.O.L. ... Srsly. A good read.
'Sammy's House' picks up where her 'Hill' left off. If you haven't read 'Sammy's Hill' yet, please do . . . right now! You'll be very sorry and much sadder in life to skip out on that book. The action in the sequel has moved to the White House from the Capitol, and although the book is witty, engaging, and very funny, the characters also seem to lose some of their whimsy. Perhaps it is appropriate that a more serious venue breeds a more serious plot and characters that are slightly less given to frequent bouts of ridiculousness (the kind that makes you laugh like a lunatic as you read). Sammy and crew are still funny and believable, and regardless of your own political leanings, you'll care about what happens to them. I highly recommend Ms. Gore's books!

I was very impressed with these books. They managed to be filled with a ton of quality content while still rarely seeming too long. Samantha Joyce is a hilarious and relatable character and I hope to see another book about her.

Just Ok
I was dissapointed, i really enjoyed the first book -sammy's hill, and expected the same amount of humor and plot. but this book ended up being just a review of the first with a few new parts. I would save your money- i wish i did, i still think she is a great writer, this is not a good book though.

Great!
I really enjoyed Sammy's Hill and Sammy's House. It is light and interesting and keeps me laughing out loud. I am hoping there will be another book in Samantha Joyce's story soon!

I read Sammy's House in quick succession after Sammy's Hill. At first I was a bit disappointed. I felt it didn't pull me in as quickly. But by about halfway through it caught fire and then it burned brightly. Ms. Gore is an amazing writer and a funny one, too. I admire her style. Great stuff!

Samantha Joyce is the health care advisor to the White House. She works in the West Wing with the hustle and bustle of government business all around her, and she loves it. The Vice President told her she is ¿..a smart, capable advisor.¿ ¿¿an asset to our team.¿ ¿But¿you have some blind spots.¿ Those ¿blind spots¿ are what make Sammy a joy to know and the ¿smart¿ makes her someone to watch out for or so the leak in the White House finds out. As Sammy attempts not to be distracted by her personal relationship with a Washington Post reporter and her efforts to keep her Japanese fighting fish alive, she tries to figure out who is publishing exact quotes for the West Wing staff on the internet. Kristin Gore¿s personal knowledge of the inter workings of our governments executive branch shines in her books. Sammy Joyce is a funny, and smart protagonist. Well done, Kristin.
