Ah, this is not a quaint little book.  This writer is intelligent and skilled but I became worried that he did not have a story to tell as I stopped laughing and started to slog through too many references and "private lexicon" as things were becoming banal and base and were going nowhere.  (ew, does anyone really say "my dear" anymore?)  BUT it was worth sticking with because he did have a story to tell and it was well worth getting to.  People can actually surprise you - this author and his characters.  I enjoyed the ending and the good wrap-up.  There were also very few errors in this book and for that I am always thankful.
