Planet-brained, snortingly ambitious and given to comic one-liners that the public and press take equal delight in, Boris Johnson is the most talked-about politician in Britain. This collection of his wit and wisdom, edited and introduced by eminent journalist Harry Mount, covers his background, education, journalism, personal life and politics, as well as the Olympics and his time as Mayor of London and Foreign Secretary. It begins with an in-depth introduction, now updated by the author, exploring his character and career, not ignoring his racy peccadilloes.

5.0 out of 5 stars INSIGHT IN THE JOURNALIST POLITICIAN BORIS JOHNSON
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2019

I thoroughly enjoyed the profound, pithy, humorous bon mots from Boris Johnson and those who know him. Many excerpts were taken from his columns at THE TELEGRAPH and THE SPECTATOR. Boris Johnson the champ journalist, politician and prime minister is a contender.

It is just a series of quotes by Boris. It was quite entertaining, but I would have enjoyed more anecdotes

This promised much and turned out to be (mainly) a collection of already-reported quotations and added nothing to mankind's knowledge of the wit and wisdom of Boris!!

An amusing little read, very light hearted. Not hugely detailed in politics so doesn't get boring if not interested in politics.
