An Enjoyable Read - Something A Bit Different

This is not a thrill-a-minute novel but it is interesting and well written. A nominee for the Supreme Court has to undergo the depredations of political opponents and the revelations of his past in order to be confirmed by the Senate. Probably a bit overlong but worth reading. The author wrote other best sellers, as well. He writes with clarity and compassion. The characters are well defined and the good guys win in the end. Nothing earth-shaking here but something entertaining and off the beaten track.
