Dry and factual, the whole book could be in dot-point format.
I didn't feel like I got to know Julia Gillard at all (though I suspect I am supposed to read "My Story" by Julia Gillard for that. It went very factual through her prime ministership (not complaining, that was exactly as advertised on the cover), but without being completely abreast of politics of the time, I felt it gave me to little to be interesting.
