  • "Under pressure from his lobbyist employer to produce results, a tobacco industry spokesman goes on the public relations offensive."
  • "This is a wonderfully funny spoof of the standard plot of the "I've got to figure out who's trying to kill me before they do" style of mystery. An anti-smoking extremist group plays the villain to tobacco spokesman Nick Naylor's good guy."
  • "The stress-filled days of Nick Naylor, chief propagandist for the tobacco industry become even more bizarre when he is kidnapped by mysterious anti-smoking activists. On his release, Nick becomes an instant hero, hounded by the press and pampered by Hollywood. This is a playful assault on American moral hypocrisy."
  • "Nick Naylor had been called most things since becoming chief spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies, but until now no one had actually compared him to Satan." So begins the adventures of this protagonist, a shamelessly slimy yuppie and PR flack par excellence for the tobacco industry. The story, such as it is, consists of Naylor's attempts to prop up his failing corporate star by expanding his defense of the evil weed. Working the airwaves, he engineers successful, hysterical appearances on Oprah and Larry King , after which he's kidnapped by anti-tobacco terrorists who attempt to murder him by plastering his body with nicotine patches. -http://www.amazon.com"
