koreilly 's review for:

Scoop by Evelyn Waugh
4.0

Funny, but incredibly racist, but still kinda dumb and funny.

Kinda like the Andrew Dice Clay of Pre-WW II British Lit.

The plotting through the first half is slow, but the second half makes up for it with some tightly wound mouse traps that deliver pretty big laughs. I'm not one to start slapping my knee while reading but I did get some pretty good chuckling in in the last third of this book.
