The Yale Diaries
by David Miguel Estrada

Available at Amazon.com

THE YALE DIARIES is a political comedy about the unlikely friendship between George W. Bush and John Kerry at Yale University. The year is 1966. Kerry and Bush have taken an immediate disliking to one another. Little do they know they share something quite unique, something that will assuredly make all problems they may have with each other in the future completely trivial.  There is an inextricable bond between them and that bond is the Brotherhood of Death, the Skull & Bones Society. When Margaret Lerner, a beautiful Yale undergraduate, dies suspiciously, will George and John become good friends by concealing the truth behind her murder?

Review of The Yale Diaries:
"John F. Kerry will soon be graduating from Yale. It is 1966. Kerry's idol, John F. Kennedy, has been assassinated and Kerry has just struck up an unlikely friendship with George W. Bush. They argue companionably about their political differences, frequently returning to the topic of Kennedy and his political leanings. Yet, in spite of their differences, they share a good time together, and they become bonded forever through death as they join forces in the conspiracy of hiding the unfortunate demise of a female student and friend. Just when one thinks the satire can't get any more unlikely, in walk Bill Clinton, and a very drunk Hillary.  David Miguel Estrada weaves a simple tale of college boys and their shenanigans. The fact that his characters are names well known in contemporary world politics makes the satire all the more compelling. His ability to give the young men characteristics that haunt them throughout their political careers in later life is no small feat. The Yale Diaries is a real paradox of political aspirations and young men's dreams, much of it revealed
through the secret diaries of Kerry and Bush.  At a time when one believes all politicians to be a bit too full of themselves, it is refreshing to follow a satire, like The Yale Diaries. The Yale Diaries is highly recommended by Allbooks reviewer, Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Allbooks Reviews, www.allbookreviews.com.
