This collection of rants and raves from Boris covers political, general and personal topics. Some of the material gets a bit boring at times (EU politics particularly), but overall it's a good read. Despite what one might think of his views, he’s quite a character, and he writes extremely well. (50 words)
| 1 Comment(s)The first 'business' book I think I've read, but I couldn't resist picking it up on holiday. Pretty compelling stuff too, charting the rise of BA's low cost upstart through to its rather sad sale to Easyjet. For corporate non-fiction, I enjoyed this and read it in two days! (49 words)

Written from the perspectives of several of the leading characters, at first this novel seems to jump around alot but becomes more satisfying as the tales converge. So much better than the average chick lit tale. (48 words)
