How Good is Scott Morrison? Peter van Onselen and Wayne Errington

Hachette, pp.320, $35

Beautiful Things: A Memoir Hunter Biden

Simon & Schuster, pp.272, $33

Between them, Peter van Onselen and Wayne Errington have a wealth of research and writing experience, and their biography of John Howard was both insightful and entertaining. So it is surprising, and rather disappointing, that How Good Is Scott Morrison? leaves a great deal to be desired. In fact, it simply leaves a great deal out, to the point where there is a question of whether it is actually a biography at all.
