It is a funny book, but I don’t feel the plot really got anywhere. It feels like a first chapter in a longer book instead of a book of its own. It was funny though! I am a sucker for dry, British humor. There are a lot of instances, where completely absurd things are explained to the reader in a very matter-of-fact manner, and in Stephen Fry's voice, they sound hilarious. If you're going to read this book, I recommend the audiobook, because Stephen Fry's voice elevates the story from good to great.
