WORTH CONSUMING!
This book is insane, but rather enjoyable. It reads quickly, and it’s Evelyn Waugh, so it has to be funny. Certainly not as profound as Brideshead Revisited, but still worth reading.

WORTH CONSUMING!
This struck me as a mix between Brideshead Revisited and Scoop. It starts off as an English country house drama, and ends up as an adventure story in the jungle. Huh? But it was entertaining through and through —- Evelyn Waugh at his snarky best.
