Johnson at 10 The Inside Story: The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller
<b>Excellent</b>.... Even those already pretty sceptical about Johnson will find this book <b>eye opening</b>. For their <b>first</b>-<b>class </b>account, Seldon and Newell have interviewed advisers and officials and gained a <b>very good </b>insight into what was going on behind the door of No 10
Daniel Finkelstein, The Times
An <b>authoritative</b>, <b>gripping </b>and often <b>jaw</b>-<b>dropping </b>account of the bedlam behind the black door of Number 10
Andrew Rawnsley, Observer
The <b>authoritative </b>account of what [Johnson] did with his time in power... <b>explosive</b>
Isabel Hardman, the i
Perhaps this overhyped book is the only memoir of which Johnson is capable. He is not going to change. <b>Anyone wanting more about his time at the top will gain greater insight from a few pages of Anthony Seldon and Raymond Newell's <i>Johnson at 10</i> than they will from <i>Unleashed</i>'s more than 700 pages.</b> Unleashed to do what? We never learn - and even he may not really know either.
Guardian review of Boris Johnson's Unleashed
<b>Excellent </b>
Andrew Sparrow, Guardian
<b>Compulsively readable </b>and <b>well</b>-<b>sourced... </b>Seldon and Newell are the first to expose in detail how Johnson's No. 10 worked -- or, rather, how it didn't... <b>A ripping yarn</b>
Patrick Maguire, The Times
<b>Seldon and Newell have done a service to us all</b>... If seeking instruction on how not to be a prime minister or, indeed, any kind of minister, this account should prove <b>invaluable</b>.
New Statesman
A <b>detailed </b>and <b>damning </b>account of Boris Johnson's rise to power and period as prime minister.

Every bit the <b>damning </b>indictment you would expect... <b>Compelling</b>
John Crace, Guardian
<i>Johnson at 10</i> is <b>rich with first-hand accounts</b> of those who saw him at work - and are still trying to process what happened
Financial Times
This is a <b>terrific book</b>: a <b>page</b>-<b>turning humdinger</b>, a switchback ride through recent contemporary history unlike anything you have ever read.
The Tablet
<b>Jaw-dropping</b>... shows us what goes wrong in practical terms when someone unwilling even to learn how to govern, to apply himself properly to serious work and self-improvement, becomes prime minister.
Iain Martin, The Times
<b>Utterly scathing</b>... a <b>timely </b>reminder of how good government should work
Guardian
The scale of disfunction is laid bare in <i>Johnson at 10</i>, a history which might alternatively be titled "How not to be Prime Minister"
Robert Shrimsley, Financial Times
Johnson's flaws are <b>brutally highlighted</b>... Seldon and his co-writer Raymond Newell give the <b>most comprehensive</b> - and <b>enjoyable</b> - account yet of what exactly happened during Johnson's three years at No 10.

'Explosive' Isabel Hardman, The i
After his dramatic rise to power in the summer of 2019 amid the Brexit deadlock, Boris Johnson presided over the most turbulent period of British history in living memory. Beginning with the controversial prorogation of Parliament in August and the historic landslide election victory later that year, Johnson was barely through the door of No. 10 when Britain was engulfed by a series of crises that will define its place in the world for decades to come. From the agonising upheaval of Brexit and the devastating Covid-19 pandemic to the nerve-shredding crisis in Afghanistan, the outbreak of war in Ukraine and the Partygate scandal, Johnson's government ultimately unravelled after just three years.
This gripping behind-the-scenes work of contemporary history maps Johnson's time in power from start to finish and sheds new light on the most divisive Prime Minister to have led the United Kingdom since Thatcher. Based on more than 200 interviews with key aides, allies and insiders, Johnson at 10 gives the first full account of Johnson's premiership, the shockwaves of which are still felt today.
