Title: Just plain boring
Product review: This book just did not hold my interest. It is a literary examination about snobbery in all its forms and root causes. Therefore, the author develops these ponderous essays on different sub-topics that dawdle and go nowhere. I could have cut the length of this book in half and gotten the same knowledge. The author's examples from his own life start to become tiresome. Instead, I wish the author had developed other, juicy examples of snobbery of the elite classes worth dishing about. I actually got on learning about snobbery from Toby Young's book, "How to loose friends and Alienate people", which shows the shallowness of the New York literary scene in the late 90's.I would recommend this book if you want to understand on a conceptual level what snobbery is about in its complete underbelly, but I would not recommend this book as an entertaining read.
