I received this book through the Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review. Honorable Profession follows a disgraced Secret Service officer, his daughter, and his daughter’s professor on a political journey. The characters in the novel are believable and we’ll developed. As a reader, I felt I “knew” everyone. The plot was a bit far fetched, but I was able to suspend disbelief enough to enjoy the book. At times it felt like the author was trying to teach us about politics and not just let the plot take off. In that way, it felt like The Invisible Heart which is a fun read that teaches economics at the same time. Don’t take this as a slight of the book, but just know it feels like a college lecture hall at times. All in all, it’s a fun read. 3.5 stars. ( )Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing. I enjoyed Honorable Profession very much. It was a captivating description of politics in the U.S., but I felt that in certain areas it was not realistic. Even so, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.

Salinger wrote in Catcher in the Rye (I'm paraphrasing), you know it's a good book if, when you finish it, you wish the author was a friend of yours and you could call him (or her) up on the phone. Well, I wish Andy Kutler was a friend of mine because I thoroughly enjoyed his novel Honorable Profession. It is a political novel about a "retired" Secret Service agent, his daughter, and a political science professor in Las Vegas who decides to run for president. The story line was intriguing. The characters were believable. Although I'm not sure I can buy that the president of the United States would want someone to ask her out on a date. But it fit the story. The plot is very timely. Mr. Kutler certainly knows politics. As a retired government employee myself, I thoroughly recommend this book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
After resigning from his agency under an ethical cloud, forty-six-year-old Dan Cahill commits himself to rebuilding his relationship with Megan, the college-aged daughter in Las Vegas he has long neglected. She persuades a reluctant Cahill to join the student-led campaign of a popular professor competing in the Nevada presidential primary against impossible odds. As they face powerful forces conspiring to clear the field, Cahill's deep-seated disdain for electoral politics collides with Megan's higher ideals. Each of their faiths are tested by political allies and adversaries, all desperate for victory, no matter the costs. Crafted by award-winning author Andy Kutler, Honorable Profession is an absorbing, modern-day political drama filled with authentic and indelible characters, each struggling with their own loyalties and principles as they duel with unscrupulous rivals and the meaning of public service.
