You could probably read this little book in one long sitting, and really annoy everyone around you with your barely-suppressed chuckling as you did so.
Hawes skewers the chattering classes' liberal sensibilities in an playful, affectionate way, and manages to tell a pretty interesting and amusing story while he's at it.
One note - there's a secret sticker on the cover that's so subtle I didn't notice it was there until my daughter peeled it off. Make sure you find yours!
