''The Devil's Tune'' is a novel by the Conservative Party politician Iain Duncan Smith, published in November 2003. The book is notable for its uniformly negative reception, such that, as of March 2013, a paperback edition was never published. ==Literary significance and criticism== *"And I honestly wish I didn't have to say this, because it feels like kicking a man when he is down... but, really, it's terrible. Human sympathy strains in one direction; critical judgment the other. Terrible, terrible, terrible." :Sam Leith, ''Daily Telegraph'' *"The Devil's Tune by Iain Duncan Smith is scarcely the greatest literature of all time but as a thriller and easy read it will while away a plane journey (or, at 400-plus pages, a couple of plane journeys) perfectly pleasantly...the dialogue is severely cliché-ridden but people do have a habit of talking in clichés." :Ann Widdecombe, Conservative politician and novelist〔 *"It's not exactly Tolstoy, is it?" :Edwina Currie, Conservative politician and novelist〔 *"IDS has as much chance of doing a Winston Churchill as Rapper Tony Benn has of going quadruple platinum." :John Sutherland, Northcliffe Professor of English Literature, University College London〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Devil's Tune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
