Book Review: Right Side Up by Paul Wells

I don't usually read non-fiction literature. But I admit some measure of excitement when I heard Paul Wells was releasing a book about the Canadian Politics during the last ten years and how the Liberals went from the top of the world to the Loyal Opposition while the Conservatives came out of the wilderness to actually compete for rule of the country.

Paul Well writes a blog that I follow and I enjoy his writing style and insight. The book is no exception to this rule and I found myself reading with rapt attention as he described events I remember happening at the time but with details and inside stories that spice the story up so much. The author's insight into events is quite engrossing and how the political landscaped changed over two elections is a lesson to all parties that view themselves as the natural governing party.

If you are interested in Canadian Politics then I cannot recommend this book enough. My only hope is that its followed by a sequel.
