"I hated the title, but some of the letters (and Buckley's responses to them) are hilarious. It is also interesting to see how many of the letters are from liberals, and although there is snark on both sides, there is also civility. You don't see that much anymore."
"I did not discover Mr. Buckley until his death. This was the first book I bought. I love the title, book jacket and most of all his wit. His erudite analyses is exceptional."
"One never reads a Buckley book alone; it's always accompanied by a dictionary, to wit: plenipotentiary, coagitations, cocatinate, garrulity, jejune, dedantation, expatiation, rhodomontade, thrasmonical, sedulous, prolix, jocosity, longorrhea, to name just a few tongue- and mind-twisters.
Given that, Buckley is still better read than seen. His slovenly appearance (not to mention his slovenly posture) on his "Firing Line" program over thirty years did not improve, though his vocabulary astonishingly, did.
This is a clever, funny, and ascerbic book. Buckley, far from being a mere fire-eater, always decanted a dollop of humorous steak sauce on everyone he barbequed.
Love him or hate him, he was a nonpariel iconoclast. So there.
