"Michelle is our real Charles Dickens, and this small novel is working class perfection itself: in a mall, young, gay, punk, and in love for the first time."

Evelyn Waugh, Robert Murray Davis | 2000 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"This novel shows all of Waugh’s gifts for satire and farce, but unlike his earlier novels, it has a three-dimensional, tragic protagonist in aristocratic cuckold Tony Last."

I did not relate to this novel at all. I found it sterile and devoid of any suspense despite the dramatic nature of the story. Cold and depressing.

"Jeff Bezos’s favorite novel, about a butler who wistfully recalls his career in service during wartime Great Britain. Bezos has said he learns more from novels than nonfiction."

Everyone has events that they can use to track life's milestones. In his novel [First Plane Home] [Jon Tait] tells the life of Andy through Scotland's World Cup chances. This well written novel shows what growing up in a country going through some changes is like. The hope of young Andy becomes the cynicism of a teenager and all throughout there is Scotland's football team and their never give up attitude.
