He SAYS that he is English, but his sense of humor was WAY TOO American for that to be true. At the beginning of the book Mr. Dolley found the humor in everything: the customs officials, the bureaucracy of the French, the plumbing. He really felt the rediculous-ness of the everyday situations in a new country where language is only half of the barrier to peace and calm. But when his identity is stolen, although he TRIES to put up a good front, he didn't seem quite so amused by incidents and events. Oh, the story line was interesting enough to convince a person NOT to move to a foreign country, but his heart was NOT so much into humor (more into anger, possibly) any more. Read it knowing that one CAN find humor in all thing human, but that SOME things are NOT as funny as others. (Four-country legal work , anyone?)
