He was an adept drinker, competent womaniser and engaging raconteur, but fighting wasn’t his forte.
I very much enjoyed this, more so that the first volume of the Major's memoirs, perhaps because it had a more defined plot to it. Though the Major's would of course take any idea of a plot, have it shredded and blended with large helping of hilarity by the clubs tobacconist.
Best read all year!
A book that made me laugh out loud in several places. Not since the last book have I done the same. More! More! More!
