      Readable book which takes Heath life on order, each chapter a progression from the other. However, each chapter deals with themes and issues from that part of his life and often moves around. For some parts of his life, e.g. the early and later parts this is fine. However, during his premiership I was hoping for something with a more chronological narrative so I could really understand how his tenure evolved. This would also have helped understand the tension and problems he faced as he went through.Overall, I feel I know Heath a lot better now and Zeigler is pretty open about how difficult and unlikeable person Heath could be, I thought I was a grumpy unsocial so and so at times, but that's as nothing compared to Heath.
