I didn’t really enjoy this book an awful lot. It started off in that awfully upper-class public schoolboy way that The Liar did, then turned into The Prisoner and ended up as a revenge tale. The revenge tale was the most interesting, but I didn’t think that it gelled hugely well and the protagonist never quite worked as he shifted between the three parts of the story. I wouldn’t really recommend this as an introduction to the novels of Stephen Fry.
