Recently got a solid recommendation on this one and its 11 cents on amazon. Should I order it? Advise.

Have you ever read any of his works before?

Well, I liked this novel. Alot, in fact. But I would only recommend it to two types of people.

A) A person who has read Waugh's stories before and really enjoyed them.

B) A person who has somewhat of a "dark" sense of humor and really appreciates satire.

I thought it was a very good book. I think that for 11 cents (isn't shipping only about $2.50 or so?), it wouldn't hurt to buy it and see what the novel is like.

I'm not sure I'd buy a copy off Amazon at 11 cents tho, Waugh fan or no.
