Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The bestThis is the first in a trilogy that is, perhaps, the best of modern political fiction. The reader can't help but be riveted by the lead character, even hoping for his sinister plots to succeed. Even having seen the BBC television version, I loved the book. It's a great read. Rating:  - Not as colorful as the BBC seriesThis book is drier than the wonderful BBC series starring Ian Richardson. But because Michael Dobbs spent years as a journalist covering British politics, plot points that are simplified or glossed over in the series are explained in more detail. So I feel like I understand what went on in the TV series more, but it's not as much fun. The book went through some significant changes on the way to the teleplay adaptation. Rating: - The Best Book EVERThis book is the best one in the collection Rating: - YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!Michael Dobbs has created a masterful fictional world of intrigue. His Francis Urquhart is the embodiement of the an eel like politician. A fast paced political thriller, where you just can't help but love the villian. With its intricate plot twists and extraordinary cast of characters, you owe it to yourself to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride that is Francis Urquhart.
