For such an old book, the comedy is incredibly relevant and effective today, almost 80 years after the fact. Everything feels like an old lens on our modern day, but captures the insanity of day to day living especially when one has to pretend to be nice and happy to everyone who would happily cause great misfortune to fall on them.

Took me a while to read. Part of that was savouring, another part was the fact I was given this book as a gift, and did not know what to expect until finally going through the first few pages. 

Highly recommend. Some jokes don't quite land. But worth it.
