As well as being sometimes profoundly wise, these letters are often laugh-out-loud funny.
Brian Lunch, Irish Times
The letters are often mischievous, sometimes ironic, almost always witty, and occasionally profound.
Justin Cartwright, New Statesman
They delight in flashing the stiletto, these donnish types, and impossible to conceive would be a college in which no academic grown had a dagger sticking out of the back. It is precisely this kind of malice which constitutes a naughty proportion of the book's appeal
Guardian
Readers of Berlin's letters will find the same bubbling flow of malice, wit and human insight on the written page
