Our White House : looking in, looking out
As with any collection you will want to pre-read these. It’s interesting to see additional material from an author if you are doing an author study.
I was excited about the concept, but the resulting story is just too strange for my taste.

It starts out very promising, and I greatly enjoyed the first few chapters, but quickly devolves into rather boring episodic nonsense as a new author enters with every chapter. Some of the later chapters do, however, make an admirable effort at bringing it all together. By the end, it's been a mostly bland reading experience, but the occasional funny moment helps, as does the fact that it is all tied up neatly at the end.
