content: The book was good and clever. Very good writing. The humor was very tongue-in-cheek.The book description on Kindle said the publish date was July 31, 2012, so I thought this was a modern book inspired by the classic Jeeves and Wooster novels. The amount of profanity in Gaudy Night further reaffirmed this mistaken thought as one does not typically see that much profanity in an older book. But, at the very end of the novel, I discover this was actually written in 1936. LOL!The only negative aspect it had was it was a bit slow. Around page 350 (of a 500 page novel) I felt like I wanted to rush through it.There were a lot of characters to remember. I had the write them all down to keep track of them. I recommend anybody else do this. Otherwise you will get lost and have to flip back a lot.The slow pace didn't negatively affect the book too much though. It was still good.
