If you have read "This Boy" you will find this quite compelling because it's the second part of a poor boy who made good story. I have now read all three books - the final one being "Long and Winding Road" and found myself sympathetic to Alan Johnson. He demonstrates the value of having someone from a very difficult background in Government. I would have liked more detail about why his first marriage failed, but the reader will discern the reasons.

A great read by any standards. Alan Johnson paints pictures with words. Definitely on par with (This Boy). Peter Brailsford.
