Title: On the lame side
Review: If I were Jilly Cooper, I would have been rather upset with this book, which borrows exceedingly heavily from her book of the same title. Fussell quotes it extensively, borrowing much of the format and most of the ideas from her book, which predates his. If you want a book on class, get Cooper's, which was just released in a new edition. It's just as funny and not nearly as rude. Fussell says no class is better than another, but Cooper clearly believes it. One gets the impression that Fussell read Cooper's book and thought to himself "Gee, somebody should write one of these about the United States!" And did. But Cooper was first and better.
Is the review positive or negative?
