apechild 's review for:

The Diary of a Nobody by Weedon Grossmith, George Grossmith

3.0

---

This was funny - the life of anybody can make good reading. Kind of reassuring in a way that a lot of the general troubles and family life continue and still crop up in one way or another even now. Mr Pooter, a rather pompous type, who never makes a mistake, but gets himself into some amusing pickles. And his son, William Lupin Pooter, who decides to go by the name of Lupin forthwith, much to his father's horror. And his two friends, the forever sickening Cummings and slightly inappropriate Gowther - the three of them carrying on like schoolboys a lot of the time. And I really want to know what was on this inappropriate christmas card that he recieved... ah, we shall never know! There were places in this book where I did laugh outloud. Very good.
