Missoula Independent piece

The Missoula Independent  published a review of the book today. Here's a short piece of it:

Drinking coffee at a small table in the River Rising bistro in downtown Hamilton, Lemon is as about as far from Helena or Washington, D.C., as could be, and he likes it that way. The former environmental and outdoor reporter for the Ravalli Republic and current politics editor at NewWest.net, describes himself as an “a-political” writer. He seems more content keeping up with sports scores and fly-fishing the Bitterroot than tapping into the nation’s political pulse.  
“I had to become a political junkie,” Lemon says. “By the end of writing the book, I had to follow politics like I follow sports. Every morning instead of clicking on ESPN, I clicked on Real Clear Politics or the Huffington Post, going through all the daily headlines."

:Note the reading at Fact & Fiction on Campus July 9 is at 2 p.m. The reading at Chapter One in Hamilton is at 7 p.m. the same day.
