Rating:
Summary: mark of excellence
Review: he tosses off verbal zingers with the very best, offering pungent commentary with satirical jabs. i consider him a more erudite version of p.j. o'rourke--and not as mercilessly cynical. i often find myself laughing out loud reading steyn--my brother in england would often email his u.k. columns. but it's not sophomoric humor that engages steyn's wit; he's high-brow the entire way. it would be okay to label him an iconoclast simply because his take is often in opposition to conventional opinion and what passes for wisdom. steyn puts to shame all the muttering pundits who perform combat duty at the major mags and newspapers. perhaps frank rich is in his league, but i wouldn't trade steyn for the top draft pick, ever.

Summary: Conceited self-centered diatribe!!
Review: I'm astounded to see the unqualified & effusive reviews for Steyn's book (so I've given 1 star rather than the 2 I would otherwise have given). There is no way that this book deserves unqualified 5 stars review. I'm also intrigued by the fact that 2 of the reviews plug Steyn's personal website as the place to buy Steyn's - more commission for the author??!!!! If you want to read about the views of someone who has absolutely no doubts on the rightousness of his own (& I emphasise his alone!) views on the world then throw away your thinking hat and wade through the essays. Otherwise do yourself a favor and don't waste your money or time.

Review: I've been a fan of Mark Steyn's brilliant column in the Telegraph for years now, it's great to finally have a book of his wonderful articles. These articles covera year from September 11 2001 to September 11 2002, and are all entrhalling to read. On the subject of September 11 he is deeply moving, his articles on this subject brought tears to my eyes. he can just as easily make you laugh, he's hysterically funny on the subject of the 'brutal Afghan winter' among other things. This book is brilliant and fascinating, there isn't a dull sentence in it.

Summary: A great read. Highly recommended
Review: Mark Steyn deserves every bit of enthusiastic praise from the preceding reviewers. Of all the current commentators on politics and culture Mark is my absolute favourite. He has a marvelous knack for cutting straight to the nub of the issue at hand - always with the sharpest of insights and often with great wit.

Summary: Superb
Review: Mark Steyn is a superb writer and stylist, a master of dazzling verbal pyrotechnics. More than that, he's on the good side! These columns are a delight to read and full of good sense as well. Steyn proves mastery of style and subject-matter is not dead. Like PJ O'Rourke, he redeems the name of jourmalism. Buy this collection, not only for your own edification and delight (as well as rage!) but to show your children a scintillating portrait of our strange times in the future.

Summary: A breath of fresh air
Review: Particularly here in the People's Republic of Canada. Alas, Steyn, a Canuck, is no longer writing for that steadily deteriorating rag, the National Post (he was the main reason I subscribed). Fans should not despair, however, as you can head on over to his Web site at www.steynonline.com for a weekly booster shot. (Note: If you order this book directly from his Web site, you can get an autographed copy!) The power, eloquence and razor-sharp incisiveness of Steyn's wit and writing are refreshing and will have you saying "Right-on, brother!" every few sentences! He regularly exposes the feeble-minded, politically-correct .... of the left (in Canada we call them "Liberals" and "New Democrats") for what they truly are. That this brilliant guy no longer has a column in his native Canada says all you need to know about the state of affairs in this country. Needless to say, he is roundly reviled here (and especially in Moscow North--Ottawa). As far as I am concerned, that is a strong sign that he is doing something right!
