 Just what l'd hoped for July 13, 2008

To start my rant, I'm not a Political Animal, and was hoping it
would not be full of policy decisions, more about his life.
I bought the book because l like John Prescott and think he's an
enigmatic person, and would love to meet him. I wasn't disappointed.
It's an amusing and entertaining read, he tell's of his life and how
he got to be where he was/is, as well as the egg incident.
Its not a heavy read. Sadly the New Statesman really pulled
it to pieces, which is one of the reasons l bought it.
If your not a John Prescott fan don't go anywhere near it.
But if you can forget Politics and read about the man,
l think you will enjoy it.
Personally I'm very happy I've read it, and it has put in
my mind what l thought about Mr Prescott to be correct,
he is a decent, honest, funny man.....and grumpy as he admits.

I thought from all the preview blurb that the book would be a 'warts and all' story. Instead I found it to be almost totally 'sanitised'. Warts that were mentioned were regarded as blips rather than serious issues and Prezza makes sure he comes across as 'one of the nice guys'.
