So So Funny - Rated Funny l remember buying this book in Lewis's in Manchester in the 70's. It had me howling with laughter on the bus. It has just been dramatised on TV, and although it was excellent, the book gives you a chance to make your own visions of the book. The poor man is so engrossed in himself, there are so many funny elements, but l think the red bath tub, has to be the funniest. If l have a criticism it's the Grossmith & Grossmith never wrote anymore. It's in my top 100 books, cant say much more. It starts as it means to go on funny from page 1. You don't need a slick sense of humour for this, just be willing to laugh aloud. Humor from yester year doesn't get much better. - Rated A hundred years old and still very amusing. Only surpasses by 'Three men in a boat' for a book of its age. Well worth reading, especially if you are a 'small cog' in the big city. A strong contender... - Rated This heart-warming classic is a strong contender for the funniest book ever written. Read it immediately, then buy a second copy as a peace offering for your worst enemy - if it doesn't wipe the snarl off their face, they're a lost cause.... Too delicious for words - Rated This is a wonderful book - I chuckled, smirked and slapped my head with delighted exasperation (whilst sitting on crowded commuter train - I am something in The City you know) at Pooter and his bewildered stumbling through the cosmic joke of his existence. In some ways it is an 'old' book, the obsession with class and position drip through every page, with Pooters inept attempts to maintain or enhance his social position. But in many ways it is about the modern world - the alienated nobody, slogging away in an office, thinking he is better than this - when of course he isn't. So glorious, that I am considering forming a religion based on the exquisite wisdom found inside this slim volume. Excellent Edwardian farce - Rated This book is a little subtle - if you can't read in between the lines then you won't find it funny. If you can then the subtle humour can't help but amuse you. Pooter is lovable, ridiculous, pompous and trivial - a fully rounded character who is quite oblivious to how most of the world perceives him. A classic.
