An incredibly funny novel. Jack (the protagonist) is very funny; I don't think he intends to be funny all the time but the way he keeps repeating the sentence "that is not the point of Babette," "Babette does not keep secrets" to his wife *Babette* is hilariously absurd.

There is a critique of Capitalism too, but it is approached obliquely: Jack's sprees of buying and discarding being the most overt signs of it.
