Michael Dobbs has carved out a unique niche as Britain's leading political thriller writer. His books have foretold the downfall of Prime Ministers and the growing turmoil within the Royal Family. Every one has been a Top Ten bestseller. His first novel, House Of Cards, launched the career of the villainous Francis Urquhart, one of the most memorable fictional characters of recent years. He also appears in To Play the King and The Final Cut, and was immortalized by Ian Richardson in three award-winning BBC TV series.
For more than two decades Michael Dobbs has been at the right hand of political controversy. He was at Mrs Thatcher's side as she took her first step into Downing Street as Prime Minister, and was a key aide to John Major when he was voted out. In between times he was bombed in Brighton, banished from Chequers and blamed for failing to secure a Blair-Major television debate. His experiences have led him to be described as 'Westminster's baby-faced hit man' and 'a man who, in Latin America, would have been shot'.
Michael Dobbs' most recent novels , featuring his latest political hero, Thomas Goodfellowe MP, are Goodfellowe MP and The Buddha of Brewer Street.

先看的美剧,又找出书来看。因为是英文的,看的很痛苦。但很值得。 现在还能记得当时的震惊,原来国家的权力是如此运作。哪里有什么所谓的民主,不过是权力的碾压,金钱的清洗。每个人心中都有一只兽,叫嚣着血的滋养,觊觎这他人的蛋糕。如果你想往上走,就必须舍弃良知,迎接...
评分 评分其实对于政治题材的书籍或电影,我向来是没有什么兴趣的,因为我觉得政治太复杂太黑暗,实在不是我所向往的世界。美剧《纸牌屋》风靡大街小巷的时候,我从不曾去搜来看看,这次是因为办公室的同事将一本《纸牌屋》原著小说带来还给别人,我顺手拿过来翻了两页,谁知竟一下子放...

评分感觉书一般啊 愈加佩服大卫芬奇和 凯文史派西化大肠为卤煮的神奇力量
评分Politics is surely not my type.
评分好评!!!!!!!!!!!结尾不好。。。为什么坏人赢不了!
评分终于今晚在睡前读到了结尾,追了美剧版,只看了英剧版的剧照,应该说Urquhart远远没有kevin spacey的霸气和野蛮,给人更多的是一种机关算尽,穷途末路感。女记者不仅没有死,还当面揭发并且逼得首相怒跳大本钟,并不是我所期待的坏人得逞,小三上位的圆满结局。还好作者在剧集的编剧时就要改正了很多了。这本小说不长,语言较好,跟之前满篇脏话的华尔街之狼比起来算是醒脑了。给个好评!期待美剧第三季,并且打算刷一遍英剧。
