2008-07-13 Just what l'd hoped for

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.
