A few weeks have passed since the release of the much-hyped diary of Tony Blair's master of spin, Alastair Campbell. Wherther you've read the whole book, just the highlights or not at all, it may prove interesting to take a look at how the book has been received.
Frank Dobson of the Camden New Journal believes that "Alastair Campbell’s doctoring helped win peace in Northern Ireland but too often...it distracted from good government." He goes on to argue that this ability to distract perhaps ended up serving Blair well, "that way, he served as a lightning conductor or human shield to protect his boss. It wasn’t part of his original job description, but that’s how he ended up."

Steve Richards of The Independent starts by calling the book "'Friends' meets '24' at No 10" and ends up saying that by the time he put this "highly readable book" down he was left with the thought that "it is a miracle that this emotionally overwrought group won one election, let alone three."

The general consensus seems to be that The Blair Years provides the reader with compelling entertainment for most of its lengthy duration, although it is clearly censored at key points. The most commont emotion the book seems to have caused is surprise - I don't think anyone was expecting it to be an enthralling, well-written emotional rollercoaster.
