After being introduced to this author's work by a staffperson at Munro Books in Victoria, BC last summer, Terry Fallis has become my favorite Canadian comedic author, and this book tops the charts. The humor and twists of this comic political novel are a great antidote to the bleating, braying and soul-sucking hideousness we are seeing on the national stage in the USA right now. I liked it so much I sent it to ten friends for Christmas this year, all of whom, like me, need a political lift and something to laugh about that all liberals can relate to. I liked it so much that I've read the rest of his books too. Go Terry Fallis! This book saved my sanity at a really lousy time.
These two books (Including the High Road) are hilarious ( and satirical). The author takes on a two volume story of how an eloquent, articulate, inelegant engineering professor finds himself an unlikely MP candidate in a riding that he has no chance of winning. His co star in this drama is a, jaundiced for his years, political speech writing Ph.D. in English. In the style of Jonathan Swift the author carves just north of a ludicrous path through the corridors of almost power in the House of Commons. His insights cut very close to exposing the bone of seedy and parochial displays in the House and how ideals could fall to the pursuit of re-election. The present CBC comedy series on The Best Laid Plans adheres somewhat to the book , but does sway into a bit more melodrama than that book. In my mind the book is quite good enough without a TV producer "juicing" it up.
It is rare that one finds laugh-out-loud reading material that is also enlightening, but to this U.S. native Fallis's satire on the Canadian parliament was both. I cared about the characters, cheered for the idealistic and accidental representative Angus, and learned a fair amount about parliament to boot.I'm going to write a thank you note to my Canadian friends who recommended this book.
Terry Fallis is a great Canadian storyteller. The "Best Laid Plans" and the follow up "The High Road" though fictional, give an entertaining, tongue in cheek look at the inside machinery of the Canadian Federal Parliament.
I'm so glad to read an award winning Canadian book that isn't pedantic or depressing. It's time for light and entertaining novels to win some hefty Canadian awards. And Fallis deserves the award. He kept me entertained from page 1 until the very end. I'm not a political animal, I've never understood that species, but if politicians were as entertaining and creative as Daniel, Angus, Muriel and the rest of the characters, I'd sign up with the Liberals tomorrow. I've read some of the reviews that complain the plot is not realistic. Time to look up the definition of 'fiction'. Kudos to you, Fallis. I hope I can follow in your footsteps. I too am a Canadian author who is self published. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a funny story from the point of a weak-stomached parliamentary operative who tries to chuck it all away and seek refuge and rest in academia after his unfaithful ex-girlfriend's affair with a politician. He manages to end up convincing then working for an honest man to run for Parliament. A dash of occasional 3-year-old humour, and some more sophisticated political humour, it's a great read!
In case you didn't know Best Laid Plans is the winner of the 2011 CBC Canada Reads contest. It was described as the "most essential Canadian novel of the decade."It's not though.If you allow the book to stand on its own merits - without hype or celebrity promotion - it fairs quite well. Best Laid Plans is funny, unique, and an enjoyable read. In the opening chapter you'll find this gem of a sentence: "Let's just say she was rather enthusiastically lobbying his caucus." Yeah, Terry Fallis went there.I'm kind of glad Terry did too. Living close to America, some Canadians believe our politics to be boring in comparison to the antics of the Tea Party or the inspiration of Barrack Obama. It's not true. We have just as much quirkiness, just as much sliminess, and more then enough "huh?" moments. Most of it just goes unnoticed.The novel takes place in the Ottawa area and centre's around a Liberal party political aide. In an effort to escape the party gives him one last assignment - to find a candidate for a riding that never votes Liberal. A few whips and chains later (!) the chosen candidate ends up being elected to office and we follow a rookie MP who just doesn't care about being re-elected or pleasing the party leader.For many this book could be an introduction to Canadian politics. I wish there were more books like Best Laid Plans out there. But it's not grand or moving on the scale of "essential Canadian novel of the decade." It's just an entertaining and average read. Reading this will not change politics in the country as some claim.Terry's main character, the political aide, is unfailingly whiny. He whines about leaving politics, he whines about a new relationship, he whines about politics, he whines about falling into dog poop... you the idea. The idea of one rookie MP changing politics is laughable as well. The perfection portrayed by MP Angus McLyntock is unrealistic, contrived, and equally as annoying. Its good that the books is about 350 pages because if it were any longer I would have said, "enough."Indeed the only character flaw of the rookie MP is that he farts loudly. On that previous sentence, which aptly sums up Best Laid Plans, I end this review.Rating (gouge my eyes out, below average, average, above average, more please)AverageEnjoyed: Funny, an easy and quick read, rare Canadian fiction about Canadian politicsDisliked: Main character is whiny, unbelievable
A light and funny tale about the unpredictability of Canadian federal politics, this story is a quick read and is engaging. I particularly enjoyed it because like the main character, I too have worked on Parliament Hill for members of Parliament and have managed election campaigns. Although the story is a bit far fetched, on most of the details about life on the Hill, Fallis is accurate. It's clear he's both worked there and has done extensive research. He paints a truer picture than many political science texts, but with an enjoyable, amusing story.
