"It's one of the best books on politics of any kind I've read. For entertainment value, I put it up there with Catch 22." —The Financial Times

"It transports you to a parallel universe in which everything in the National Enquirer is true....More interesting is what we learn about the candidates themselves: their frailties, egos and almost super-human stamina." —The Financial Times

"I can't put down this book!" —Stephen Colbert

Game Change is the New York Times bestselling story of the 2008 presidential election, by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the best political reporters in the country. In the spirit of Richard Ben Cramer's What It Takes and Theodore H. White's The Making of the President 1960, this classic campaign trail book tells the defining story of a new era in American politics, going deeper behind the scenes of the Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin campaigns than any other account of the historic 2008 election.

      In a sea of direct quotes, supported by the authors' comments and opinions, GAME CHANGE reprises the run-up to the 2008 presidential election. The hundreds of intimate conversations among candidates and aides--some of them during phone calls--must have been recorded, because no mere human could remember such details. The incessant leaps from camp to camp and state to state challenge listeners' abilities to stay oriented. Narrator Dennis Boutsikaris delivers right from the page--a technique many readers prefer--without any characterizations of the well-known sources. His reading of the frequent "F" word aloud magnifies its potential to offend. One McCain tirade has the word 15 times. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
