Thank You for Smoking
reviewed on + 48 more book reviews


Really entertaining, fascinating and sort of horrifying look at Nick Naylor, chief spokesperson for the tobacco lobby in D.C. Throughout the whole book, I couldn't decide if I hated Nick for shoving cigarettes down the throats of the American public while whole-heartedly denying the link between smoking and cancer, or loved him because at the end of the day he was simply doing his job, as he says, "To pay the morgtage." Either way, Nick is a real antihero for our twisted times and this book will definitely make you think twice before ever believing a word that comes out of an industry's spokesperson or Washington poilitician again!
