Resumen del Editor
Now a major motion picture
National best seller
Named one of the best books of the year by People and USA Today
A New York Times Notable Book
Nobody blows smoke like Nick Naylor. He’s a spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies - in other words, a flack for cigarette companies, paid to promote their product on talk and news shows. The problem? He’s so good at his job, so effortlessly unethical, that he’s become a target for both anti-tobacco terrorists and for the FBI. In a country where half the people want to outlaw pleasure and the other want to sell you a disease, what will become of Nick Naylor?

It looked for all the world like a terrible, tragic accident. Susanna Morgan had gotten up in the middle of the night, tripped, fallen, and broken her neck. Yet when detective Justin Westwood inspects the victim's apartment, he can't help noticing that the details don't quite add up. The glass on the bedside table is knocked over but there are no cuts on her body. The scrape on her knee looks suspiciously fresh. And then a terrified witness comes forward, confirming his worst fear.

In 1994, Christopher Buckley published one of the most acclaimed and successful comic novels of the decade, Thank You for Smoking. Now, Buckley returns to the strange land of Washington, DC, in Little Green Men, a millennial comedy of manners about aliens and pundits...and how much they have in common. The reluctant hero of this hilarious novel is John Oliver Banion, a stuffy Washington talk-show host, whose privileged life is thrown into upheaval when aliens abduct him from his exclusive country-club golf course.

The year is 1517. Dismas is a relic hunter: one who procures "authentic" religious relics for wealthy and influential clients. His two most important patrons are Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony; and soon-to-be Cardinal Albrecht of Mainz. While Frederick is drawn to the recent writing of Martin Luther, Albrecht pursues the financial and political benefits of religion and seeks to buy a cardinalship through the selling of indulgences.

Christopher Buckley at his best: an extraordinary, wide-ranging selection of essays both hilarious and poignant, irreverent and delightful. In his first book of essays since his 1997 best seller, Wry Martinis, Buckley delivers a rare combination of big ideas and truly fun writing. Listening to these essays is the equivalent of being in the company of a tremendously witty and enlightening companion.

After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that’s made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he’s been up to for the past twenty years—and it isn’t pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer’s row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar. In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public—not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career.

Condensed Version
Great voice and reading.
Condensed Version of actual book. It skips over many scenes and in few cases over chapters.

Short and Captivating
It’s short and captivating, I had to double and later triple check that I hadn’t gotten the abridged version.
Better than the movie in most ways but not all (the modernized references for one).
I didn’t use a credit, I paid a few bucks and don’t regret them.

Thank you for Smoking
It was a very entertaining book. I saw the movie a few years ago and wanted to listen to the audio version of the original book.
There were slight variations but overall still had the same comical and political social substance. I was very pleased about that. Still, I recommend both the book and the movie. Definitely makes points about liberty, quality of life, public health, and individual choices which are the important foundations in this country.
This body of work makes light of those subjects. However, they are nevertheless...key ingredients to the culture of social political framework of America.

Meh.
I didn't find any extremes in this book...nothing awful, nothing great. The performance came closest to awful, but wasn't quite that bad, just not very good. I don't like Glover's voice, don't think his characterizations are particularly good, am not terribly impressed with his pacing and emphasis.
Since I'm not thrilled with the reader, it's hard to say whether the book would've seemed better with a better reader. I definitely did not pick up much i the way of humor, and definitely didn't find it "wickedly funny." It's not that I lack a sense of humor or don't like dark, sarcastic, or satirical humor --I particularly love all 3. I just didn't think they existed much in this book. The MoD sounded like a number of the people I've worked with...the worst ones, who spend all their time griping & sniping, pithing & moaning, just being generally annoying. I've been forced to spend too much time around people like that in life, I certainly don't find listening to them to be entertainment.
This one's a "SIBI" --Sorry I Bought It.

unexpectedly different
it is common knowledge that most of the time a book is much more gratifying to experience than its movie counterpart. Although in this instance, the book and the movie are more like kindered spirits, intertwined in spirit but the morals, events, and overall feel of the story are largely separate in each instance of the story.

Verbal Judo
Nick Naylor is the bad guy that's in all of us. He gets to be bad for fun and profit. In fact, he gets paid for lying, and job that many of us would probably really enjoy. This was a shorter book than I would have liked; I wanted it to go on I was having such a good time. The dialog was crisp and clearly written and the plot was well done, although the major plot twist I saw coming. Even though I saw it coming, it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book in any way.
I recommend Thank You For Smoking!

Outstanding!
What did you like best about this story?
You're never sure of how you feel about Nick - Is he a decent guy? If he were, why would he make a living off of lying? Is he smart? If he were, why would he fall for ten traps set in plain sight?
If you could rename Thank You for Smoking, what would you call it?
"You Would Never Have Expected A Lobbyist To Be This Funny".
Any additional comments?
Could have done without the musical introductions to new chapters. They did a nice job of reinstating the tone of the chapter, but they almost drowned out the narrator's voice.

A Real Gem
The book itself is wonderful and rather apt and well worth experiencing. I really just want to mention that you may be better off physically reading it. While John Glover's performance is more than adequate, I would almost be willing to give 5 stars though some of his voices are unnecessary, the audio mastering is abysmal. Whoever designed the audiobook threw in really awful cheap music at random times and a volume so loudly I thought initially that it must be coming from somewhere else. Most times, it is so obnoxiously loud over the actual reading. I had to put myself through a couple of re-listens in order to glean the words of the book. Fortunately, the book is short, so you don't have to put up with it for long, and the book itself is great. just a heads up.
