Negative Positive
Title: funny but mean spirited and self serving
Review: Fussell's serious works, most notably The Great War and Modern Memory, are masterpieces. In this book, however, he lets his nastiness roam far afield. The entire book is an elegy to himself and those he deigns worthy of his attention. It's a romp for the first few pages, but just gets more and more spiteful as it moves along.
