I liked it and the writing style was amazing, but it was boring and the ending just felt off because I just couldn't tell what it represented exactly. I have a clue but I'm not on the ball with this one. I thought it was pretty funny as a book in itself as well. His satirical representation of the characters and objects made it very easy to go through, but in all truth it was boring as a whole. Those that enjoy books I would say read it, but those that read once in a while it will take your life away. I'm personally glad I read it though. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192813714, Paperback)

Alone among Saki's works in being almost entirely located in London, this novel focuses on the Mayfair scene of bridge afternoons, dinner parties, and concerts. At the center of a group of brilliantly depicted bores and savage wits is Comus Bassington, "the beatiful wayward laughing boy."
