Review
Praise for 'The Dream of Rome':
'Written with all the wit and zest that have helped to make him Britain's favourite celebrity MP.' Tom Holland, Daily Telegraph

'Described with his special combination of sharp-eyed intelligence and golly-gosh exclamation…a splendid romp through the Roman world.' Sunday Telegraph
'Lovers of Latin and ancient history unite! At long last there is a warm, funny, erudite introduction to the Roman empire…a marvellous reader-friendly account of Rome.' Independent
'History comes alive only when written from the heart and Johnson's is full of swashbuckling japes, bloodthirsty yells and energetic sideswipes.' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday
Praise for Boris Johnson and ‘Friends, Voters, Countrymen’:
'Johnson has cracked the art of making politics invigorating.' Daily Telegraph
'Such an entertaining read.' Daily Mail
