 Much needed light shone on the Cameron enigma September 10, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Up until now all we have seen of David Cameron has been through the filter of the party's publicists and their attempts to 'decontaminate' the Tory brand. This is the first opportunity for real in depth analysis of the man who would like to succeed Gordon Brown. It is relatively policy light (that's what manifestos are for and if you print that now with an election still likely to be over a year away you open yourself to being wedded to out of date dogma or having you good ideas pinched) but gives a fascinating account of his motivations and character. If only someone had done this with Gordon Brown before he took power!
Fascinating and informative September 1, 2008

I'm far from being a card-carrying Cameron fan, but this book, written as a series of interviews over the space of a year, provides a very modern approach to politics - open, direct, and frank. You certainly get to know Cameron's views on, well pretty much everything. Whether it's selective schooling, his opinion on Boris Johnson, or even the Royal Family. It's a fascinating and informative account, well written and entertaining

This book offers nothing in terms of learning what policies that Cameron has to offer at all. He says that he has ideas but does not back it up with anything in detail at all using the excuse that election could be up to 2 years ago. There is little to get you excited if this man is to be the next Prime Minister.
The other worrying thing i have gained from reading this book is how many people he knows in the media and that you get the impression they are manipulating coverage of Cameron to make him look better than he is.
(Anybody realise that he spent time in South Africa on holiday earlier this year? no me neither - so much for his green credentials). You get the feeling that he is one of the "establishment".
Finally, I also have to take issue with the writer who says he's no Cameron apologist and then proceeds to give a pscophantic account of his opinion of David Cameron. Google searching Dylan Jones lead me to a couple of articles praising David Cameron way before this book came out and i do wonder how objective his account is.
