Praise for Jeremy Paxman:
Intelligent, well-written, informative and funny A book to chew on, dip into, quote from and exploit in arguments Andrew Marr, Observer
He writes with wit and penetration, and every page of Empire can be read with relaxed pleasure Spectator
Paxman is witty, incisive, acerbic and opinionated . . . In short, he carries the whole thing off with panache bordering on effrontery Sunday Times
A very engaging account with a good sprinkling of jokes, funny nicknames and sexual references. Paxman makes some very sharp points and writes well Guardian
