I Call Him Christopher: My Letters to Chris Matthews of Hardball

"This book is unpretentious and at the same time clever, funny, and generally endearing. Granted, it is relatively light fare and be finished quite comfortably in one sitting (a very enjoyable sitting at that). The wit shines through beautifully, and all in all, I am happy to take great pleasure in that alone. Still, though I make to claim to truly knowing Mr. Baskett's intentions, I personally feel a surprising depth to these often satirical, occasionally poetic, and sometimes (dare I say) even tender missives. It is there, at least, for those that want, need, or like to find it. Baskett is a gifted social commentator, with a rather subtle touch. If you are compelled to take offense to anything he might dish out, then it seems you are meant to. But, in the end, one must remember that the whole work is written, it seems, in the spirit of humor and play. Baskett's style is unique in its playful and vigorous nature. To stop mincing words, the book is good people! I can only offer my opinion, of course, but my opinion is that you will not regret it." - The Alchemy Review
