[Alex · Rating 1 out of 5]

This has been on my 'to read' list for ages. I finally decided to read it and found it dull and unoriginal. If you know British politics or Conservative politics, either through work or study, this book won't tell you anything new!

However if you only have a passing interest in politics this book offers a fairly easy going overview of David Cameron and should dispel the myth that's he is not a Conservative.

The book itself is made up of political essays by various authors, some are highly readable but I found the chapter on the Competition state particularly dis-engaging and slow going.

I read the whole book but have been disappointed by the lack of insight it offers, this along with the hard going nature of parts of the book are why I've only given it one star.
