 A pick you up for a wet summer August 21, 2008
Re-read after 30 years. Still hilarious for easy summer reading. If you want a winter read try Diary of a Nobody. Beats tv!
Feelgood factor 20! March 9, 2008
Taffybird and Stanton - I totally agree with your reviews. One of the funniest books ever written. I have read it countless times and the humour is still relevant today. Classic.
 Very funny, at least in the beginning. April 30, 2007

This is another overrated "British Classic", but I have to say it was extremely funny in the beginning. The problem I had with it is that it got so boring towards the end that I was unable to finish the book. I think the author used up all the great gags early on and ran out of interesting and amusing things to say. A real shame.
The true British humour of today, yesterday and forevermore April 28, 2007

As a Penguin Popular Classic many people may be put off buying this book with the assumtion that its humour would be lost on a modern audience.
However the fact that it has stood the test of time reflects not only its enduring relevance but its absolute perfection. Drawing from life observations on mainly male pride and ignorance this is a book for both sexes to enjoy (do not be put off by all the men involved, ladies!) and I actually laughed out loud on the train home on several occasions, prompting other passengers to ask me what I was reading so they could enjoy it too.
After you have been histerical all of the way through, enjoying also the real immersion in British upper-middle class thinking and experiences before the turn of the century (ie. late 19th), my real advice would be to lend it to all of your friends and then read it aloud to each other. You will not get past the third page for fear of choking on your own laughter (I tried this and suffered from a terrible stitch for several hours).
Very readable and genuinely funny October 9, 2006

If you don't enjoy reading at all don't buy this book, if however, you do enjoy a well written and hilarious novel buy it!!! I can't praise this book highly enough, very well written, laugh out loud funny in many places, and also though provoking - especially the part about overloading your boat with trivial belongings.
Many a night have I been shouted at by my partner for waking her up to read a particularly good paragraph to her!
