Despite the length I got through this pretty fast - partly because it was due back at the library, and partly because it was such a good read. I don't think I had realised quite how much conflict between the key players was there right from the start, and the 1997 landslide seems a bit mad considering how much sniping and silly behaviour there was going on. All the anecdotal stuff brought it to life, eg Mo Mowlam in the bath, advice from Alex Ferguson, Alan Sugar being nervous about becoming well known - probably didn't need to hear about Blair's balls hanging out though...Looking forward to reading the next installment.
