The book Downing Street doesn't want you to read: a frank, funny, and fascinating portrait of Britain's First Couple. Tony and Cherie Blair are a formidable double act. Now this entertaining profile offers a look at Britain's First Couple and how they've survived life in Downing Street. Written with access to well-placed sources, Tony and Cherie takes us from their first steps into their Downing Street flat to Tony Blair's triumphant third term and increasing importance as an international statesman. Along the way, we discover the controversial roles that a "lifestyle guru" (known for her topless photos) and a series of New Age practitioners have played in the Blair's lives. We also learn about uncomfortable trips to Balmoral, including a royal snub, and the couple's relationships with Clinton, Chirac, and Bush.

Tony and Cherie: Behind the Scenes in Downing Street
I think 3 stars is fair for this book. It's interesting and certainly brings a new perspective to Britain Politics for me.
I bought this book originally to read the chapter on Dorothy Macmillan as I will read anything on the Macmillan Government.
It was insightful and well researched however it just seemed to fall lacking.
A previous reviewer commented that it becomes repetitive towards the end and understandably there were a few overlaps. Particularly referring to Elizabeth Home's Memorial Service the part in her chapter and in Dennis Thatchers were almost identically worded.
I was pleased to note that there didnt appear to be any partisan bias. I especially enjoyed the chapter on Clarissa Eden and Elizabeth Home. You get the feeling the author liked her subjects as a lot if effort goes in to making them seem like complete people. Of course I'm aware that they are but it could have been easy to make them come accross rather flat.
All in all, a good easy read but nothing ground breaking.
