I don't re-read books very often, but I have read this a number of times and enjoyed it every time.

The book has a similar feel to the BBC television series "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister" as it features the complexities of the British civil service, although in this case not from Whitehall but in that out of the way research establishment Robinson Heath.

If you are self conscious about laughing out loud do not read this book in public. I found it very funny, but then I have a very British sense of humour.

Well worth the read, it is excellent.
