aliteralfield 's review for:

Scoop by Evelyn Waugh
2.0
funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

It’s never my favourite when miscommunication is at the forefront of a plot but sadly this was the case when a journalist being sent to report on a fictional state in east Africa but someone with the same surname, Boot, is sent instead. Yes it is a satire and there is quick wittedness throughout but probably my least favourite Waugh
