I truly got nothing out of this book. I find it impossible to write a review of that nothing so....

Wow. Ok, so for the most part I felt this was average storytelling for Waugh, and fairly representative of his style. Not everything is out and out satire like Vile Bodies (which I thought was great), but I generally find all the British upper class writers of this period interesting.

However. I really can't see past the overtly racist bits in the one chapter. The jokes about the Welshmen were bad enough, but really. Tom Sawyer, this is not.
