Negative Positive
Title: Pretentious, wordy, and unreadable
Review: I'm an American who has spent 2 years living in England, and 4 months living in France (plus visiting often), so I did catch the regional allusions. But this book was painful to read (it was a gift so I wanted to finish it). Back to the drawing board, Mr. Lanchester.
