‘We have had diaries from other Cabinet Ministers, but none I
think which have been quite so illuminating… It is a
fascinating diary… It is shorter than Barbara Castle’s… and
although it is rather more accurate than Dick Crossman’s, it
is distinctly funnier’ – Lord Allen of Abbeydale (formerly
Permanent Secretary at the Home Office) in The Times

‘It has an entertainment and educational value which is
unique. It is uproariously funny and passes the acid test of
becoming more amusing at every subsequent reading… I will
go so far as to claim that in the characters of Jim Hacker and
Sir Humphrey Appleby, Messrs Lynn and Jay have created
something as immortal as P.G. Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster
and Jeeves’ – Brian Walden in The Standard

The books is well written but the font size is too small, therefore they would need to be magnified as much as possible but should be a big size hence to avoid eye squinting. It is very entertaining the fictional parliament felt very similar to our UK parliament how it is being run, the way they accurately describe the work schedule does matches in this time as well. The Author who written this types of books were one of the best exaggerated authors who describe the scenery as realistic and plotted a clever twist into the story.

That is why the story is very educational and has a lot of vocabulary that hasn't been used before in this modern age. I hope this types of books were to be on the rise again as it would encourage others to have the same set of skills to do creative writing as similar as the Two author that are mentioned above. I hope it goes well for all of us. Continue reading this types of book all of you. Wish you all the best.
