it was amazing

The rating system for goodreads makes it more difficult to award 5 stars, as not every book that you enjoy is "amazing". I had no hesitation in ranking this book as 5 star, however, as it is absolutely brilliant! Very, very funny and while it is much less well known than Three Men in a Boat or The Diary of a Nobody, it is as good (if not better) than either of these. The wonderfully pompous hypocrisy of Augustus is beautifully written and the characters that surround him are equally eccentric and grotesque. One of the most enjoyable books I have ever read.
