It's a pretty weird book. Some of the gambits would be good to try, but it's mostly 1940s satire.

Delightful. It took a little while for me to get into the swing of it, but about ten pages in something just clicked, and from then on it was just rollicking fun. There are lots of little asides, which I love, little bits tucked into footnotes...just really well-done.

This was a birthday present from Dan (after we'd seen the movie version, starring my beloved Ian Carmichael), and it was spot-on.
