Book Description

April 1, 2004
In this anatomical anthology, Mark Steyn takes a tour round some delightful parts – from the Liberian President’s ears and Frank Sinatra’s voice to Al Gore’s calves and the Duchess of York’s toe. Plus all the naughty bits, including Bill Clinton’s executive branch. Witty, incisive, satirical, Steyn takes on US drinking habits, the Nepalese monarchy, conservative cool, Blair and Saddam, Bush and Kerry, and much more. And don’t miss his great appendix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smashing!, May 13, 2004
This review is from: Mark Steyn From Head To Toe: An Anatomical Anthology (Paperback)
An anthology of Mark Steyn's work is like giving a drug addict a large supply and telling them to only use a little at a time. It's impossible and it won't happen. I received this just two days ago and have already finished it!

Mark Steyn From Head To Toe is a collection of his columns dating back to the early 1990s loosely arranged by the theme of the human body. The essays cover everything from the Clinton impeachment, popular culture and Election 2000 to politics in Canada, the U.S. and Britain. If you've ever read Steyn you know each essay is a combination of humour and erudite analysis. Word play that serves not only to make you laugh, but make real points.

There are some real standouts such as his 2001 piece on Mordechai Richler but that said there are no clunkers in the whole bunch. If you love Steyn, you'll love Mark Steyn From Head To Toe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steyn Divine, July 24, 2005
By 
Meriam Matthews (Lake Toxaway, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mark Steyn From Head To Toe: An Anatomical Anthology (Paperback)
Mark Steyn has written some of most intensely funny and provocative political and cultural material I've read yet. This book is filled with clever, witty incisive humor and powerful observations. His essay on Sinatra is a gem and his conclusions about celebrities in general is masterful. I cannot recall reading so much laugh-out-loud verbiage in ages -- Steyn is truly divine.

But don't pass this off as simply humor. It's far more and it's brilliantly written. He rips everyone without mercy but he also tells the truth; it's not funny unless it contains a kernel of truth. Steyn's essays contain the whole cob.

His genius shines through on every page and his writing is probably better than anyone in his genre and probably better than those outside his genre.

How can he keep up such near-perfection this consistently, essay after essay, and where has he been all my life? Buy this book and give it to everyone you know with a brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest political commentator today, bar none, March 13, 2006
This review is from: Mark Steyn From Head To Toe: An Anatomical Anthology (Paperback)
Mark Steyn's writing is brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant. His honest, no-nonsense (yet hilarious) insights into the double troubles of Islamofacism and the West's (especially Europe's)politically and demographicaly appeasing responses are priceless ... and cost him his job in Britain ... two British newspapers just this weekend dropped him for being too hot. My conservative British friends love him ... and are distraught at this. Mark is a breath of fresh air. Always fresh. Buy this book and enjoy some fantastic writing. A true Renaissance man.
