'Thought-provoking, exceptionally well written and informed by a deep knowledge of political history.'
'Understanding how someone like Johnson became prime minister is both interesting and important... Gimson's tone is that of a witty and cynical dinner companion providing an insight into a famous friend... Johnson's attributes are reflected in this biography. It is entertaining and often funny.'
