Reviews
Be warned: it may look like a book for dipping into, but once you've tasted it, you might find it hard to put down . . . the joy in having it is that when you've read one piece, you don't have to wait three days for another * Daily Mail *
If a competition were held for the title of Fleet Street's best writer, a strong contender would be Keith Waterhouse * Spectator *
He's the best there is at the pettiness of bureaucracy, the lame-headedness of government, the foolishness of the punditatorial classes. Best of all are the characters he's established over the years * The Times *
