Collection of half-witted columns which, at least, reflect the title ( ) I don't agree with a lot of Boris's views: people are against hunting because they loathe cruelty, Boris, not because of class prejudice! However, that said, Boris is a gifted, amusing writer, and I found this a fascinating read, and he comes across as affable, we'll-meaning, very human (if not humane), and someone who thinks for himself, which for a politician is a breath of fresh air. Bumblimg buffoon Boris Johnson tickles, charms and entertains his way through the myriad subjects of his articles. He comes across as intelligent, sharp and witty most of the time but the nasty side of his politics and personality cuts through on a number of occassions. He's smart enough to make you forget he's an old Eton tory boy and funny enough to make himself (wince) likeable. The Frank Bruno interview is a highlight, probably only because Bruno seems to want to beat Boris up. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In his own inimitable style, Boris Johnson, the new Mayor of London, turns his attention to the culture, manners and morals of British society, giving us a humorous, at times furious, but always entertaining read. A witty anthology of pieces comprising Boris Johnson's thoughts on everything from Tony Blair to the idiosyncrasies of modern British culture. With new artilces on subjects as varied as Iraq, football, population control and bike theft, Johnson takes us on a rollercoaster ride through contemporary Britain. He has also interviewed many of the key figures in the political and cultural worlds over the last sixteen years and addresses what these personalities tell of our age. Boris Johnson is one of the great political characters of our time and his writings have appeared in a variety of British and American magazines and newspapers. Vigorous, idiosyncratic, always intelligent and informed, with a very interesting perspective on our times, 'Have I Got Views For You' is a pleasure to read.
