What They're Saying
Critics Review
A candid, moving and gripping psychological rollercoaster of hopes and fears … peppers with incisive observations … Don’t buy this book because you feel sorry for Nick Robinson. He wouldn’t want that. Buy it because it’s a cracking read. * The Observer *
Mischievous. Moving. Marvellously indiscreet … the Must-Read Book of the Year * Mail on Sunday *
Funny, crackling and moving * Robert Peston, BBC Economics Editor *
Terrific stuff in Nick Robinson’s instant memoir of recent history – John Rentoul * Independent *
Brilliant, brave and honest * Jane Martinson, Head of Media at the Guardian *
A terrific book, literally unputdownable. It merges two genres - personal and political - without a seam in sight and kept me engrossed on every page. One of the best political books I’ve ever read. * Matthew d’Ancona *
[Nick] manages to convey the excitement of a moving political story while keeping a sense of perspective … His account of battling with illness while trying to report on a general election is extremely moving. * Sunday Times *
