I read his 'How to be a Conservative' and I found him to be very fair-minded, compassionate and responsible to his duties to himself and his community. On top of that he understood the arguments of his detractors and answered them well and without venom. He had clearly 'started with the greeks' when it came to philosophy and his awareness of the major currents of philosophy was solid.

Frankly, it felt like reading the written work of an adult. That might seem like damning with faint praise but it was a very pleasant change from the howling and bawling of the current media-sphere. '

'How to be a Conservative' may not be an advanced work - it was never meant to be - but it is a simply stated and solidly argued argument in favor of a variety of modern 'conservatism' and the reasoning behind it. This work will introduce a measure of understanding into the mind of centrists and leftists about what conservatism is and, more importantly, is not. Thank you for reading my book report.
