This book, while slow and definitely difficult to read at times, was on the whole enjoyable. The main characters internal monologue about the money driven world he lives in and his desire to escape it sparked a different perspective of viewing society to me. 

Thankfully it’s a short book, as it was a slog to get through as the main character is fundamentally unlikeable and closed minded. That said, I would recommend this book if you are looking for avid description of 1930’s London living and food for thought about money and its role on status and society.
