You are joking, aren't you, Ken? You really expected "a warts-and-all autobiography" from this slippery customer? This vainglorious self-publicist who proved himself to be the ultimate master of spin, a skilled practioner in the illusionist's art of smoke and mirrors?
As for biographies being "tainted by the rose-tinted spectacles of the fan who's written it", that's exactly the trap that this book will fall into because it's been written by Blair's biggest fan of all!
