vikingwolf's review against another edition
2.0
I went into this book expecting a read about a Brexit supporter hitting out at all the lefties and MPs who tried to thwart democracy by blocking us leaving the EU after the Referendum. Yes there was some of that and those opening couple of chapters were entertaining. But it then seemed to descend into just having a go at everyone he doesn't like and frankly some of the reasons given were a bit dumb. And who really cares if he thinks Alan Milburn was good looking or not? Some of the digs were nasty and it didn't keep the lighthearted humour that I expected from reading his columns in the newspaper. It just wasn't my kind of thing.
bellatronic's review against another edition

I am trying to read more widely and picked this because I knew it would be firmly "outside my bubble". This is essentially a series of essays on the topic of people and organisations that have annoyed the author at some point. Some of his criticisms were quite well constructed and, at times, amusing although a lot of it came across as bitter, boring or both. I found myself skipping large chunks of it which made it a mercifully quick read.
