To an EU novice, this is a highly illuminating book, giving a fairly good sense of what the EU is (at the institutional level, at least). The book is a loose series of personal memories of his time as a (somewhat sceptical) EU Commission insider, lightly arranged to guide the reader gently into the labyrinth. This humane and story-led approach leaves the reader with a much more vivid and memorable impression of these arcane institutions than a formal description could hope to do. There's humour and a sense of fun (and perhaps a little too much whimsy) but the mixture makes for a very accessible intro to the EU.
