Beautifully written and provides a glimpse of how the Paul Keating office functioned. A wonderful read for anyone interested in Australian politics. ( )

Amazing tales of the Keating PM-ship. Gruesome & sad, but written by a true believer. Manages to tell the story of the ideas & not the minutiae of day to day politics.

A birthday gift from my Aunty Robbie. I am yet to read it but intend to after I've read Lazarus Rising.

Paul Keating may not have liked it but I found this a fascinating memoir of one man's relationship with Keating, the charismatic former treasurer and prime minister of Australia. ( )

Whatever you might think of the subject, his style or his politics this is an extraordinarily well written book. The writer's skill is apparent on every page and because of that skill this book is a pleasure to read. ( )
