As a journalist for the Sunday Telegraph and The Spectator, James Delingpole has expressed his thoughts - articulately and amusingly - on everything from politics to popular music, from school sports days to spliffs. In this A-Z of brief essays he turns his lively mind to modern society gone mad. Can't understand what's wrong with much-loved feet and inches? Don't believe the global-warming hype? Wondering whatever happened to good, old-fashioned universities? Pouring scorn on the state of Britain after ten years under Brown and Blair, HOW TO BE RIGHT couldn't have come along at a more appropriate time. Prepare to foam and splutter, and to be seriously entertained.

This review is from: How to Be Right (Paperback)
Ignore the grumpy review of the previous person. They were probably American, and their lazy fat-soaked empty brain couldn't deal with multi-syllabic words and complex sentences made readable by the precise use of punctuation done properly.
This is a very funny book, extremely well-written, worth buying just to see how wonderful the English language can be in the hands of a skilled writer. If you keep a set of P.J. O'Rourke books on your coffee table just to appall the humorless lefties who wander by your house begging for money for their latest idiotic cause, this will be a fine addition to your collection. This is a wonderful book. I recommend buying several copies to give to any liberal acquaintances you may have; it will aggravate them and educate them at the same time. They should cut down all the trees in Oregon just to make paper so that more copies may be printed and it then be made required reading at all the public schools across America.

Dull Dreary Delingpole,
By
This review is from: How to Be Right (Paperback)
Delingpole's blustering tirade is painful to read, poorly thought out, and downright malignant. The bile Delingpole spews belies a deep hatred for all things liberal and left. He throws every weapon in his arsenal at the pinkos destroying his country and the result is a mediocre and ludicrous diarrhea of words. Throughout, the book is painfully uninformed about the real struggles of people. Delingpole comes across as a pampered prince sitting atop his squashy libertarian throne poo pooing the troubles of others. His understanding of the positions he criticizes is often weak and amateurish, though not lacking in chutzpah. And while he can turn a phrase, the view he ends up espousing is preposterous in the extreme.
