I normally hate miscommunication as a plot point, but it’s used for comedy here and I found it surprisingly enjoyable.
I found myself rooting for these characters much more than I usually do in literary classics, however my patience was tested multiple times by the sheer length of the book and long passages with very little happening in them.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well most of the humour held up and how accurately some of these ridiculous rich folk were portrayed.
