Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An underappreciated talent
Review: The Face of the Tiger proves just how underappreciated columnist Mark Steyn really is. One part William F. Buckley Jr. (without the grandiose language) and one part P.J. O'Rourke (without the sarcasm), Steyn takes the best of both men by being a both a humourist and insightful. Yet despite that he's not as well known as either man, something that The Face of the Tiger will hopefully begin to remedy. The book collects his columns from September 11, 2001 to precisely one year later and primarily deals with the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. You can find him in the pages of The National Post and The Jerusalem Post as well as several other newspapers...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great read. Highly recommended
Review: This collection of Mark Steyn's essays is truly brilliant. His analyses cut through the political correctness and hypocrisy of media and politicians and lay it on the line in a way that will make many a public figure deservedly uncomfortable. Mr Steyn's writing is lively, though-provoking and, when he chooses, also very funny. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Bard of New Hampshire on 9-11
Review: When you first read a Mark Steyn column it only takes a few sentences to realize that he is a gifted writer of extraordinary intelligence. He is also conservative and libertarian and therefore mostly ignored by the mainstream media. To paraphrase the original Bard:

Mark Steyn's a bawcock, and a heart of gold,
A lad of life, an imp of fame;
Of parents good, of fist most valiant.
I kiss his dirty shoe, and from heart-string
I love the lovely bully.

And you will too.
Mark Steyn sells this book on his website personally autographned for the same price it's available for here. (Sorry Amazon.)
