Fulfills Challenge? Yes
Notes: I’d just like to have a round of applause for really big margins. If you’re not sold on that at least then you probably have no soul.
Review/Thoughts:
This is truly one of the most ridiculous books I’ve ever read, in the best possible way. I keep using this comparison but no other one fits to me: it’s like watching a Marx Brothers film. There are times you might not quite know what’s going on or how you got there or how some of this stuff is even possible, but it’s a hilarious bumpy ride nonetheless. I laughed at some truly inappropriate moments. I don’t have very much to say about this book (if I told you what I found funny for example, I’d be giving away too much of the plot), but I highly recommended it to those who like to have their funny with a side of wit and ridiculous.
Final Verdict: 
Decline and Fall is one of my favourite books. I haven’t read it for years but if you liked Vile Bodies, I’m pretty sure you’ll love Decline and Fall. Anything by EW is worth reading.
Decline and Fall is definitely one I want to check out, especially since it seems quite similar :)
If you’ve already read Brideshead Revisited, just think – these are the people Sebastian wanted to be BFFs with. No wonder he turned out the way he did.
If you haven’t read it yet, there’s your incentive.
hahaha, I haven’t read it yet, but it’s one of my Gap books so I hope to get to it sometime in the next five years
Never read this book or know what it’s about, but from your description it sounds like you might like a screwball comedy movie, or a Moss and Hart or Noel Coward play!
Sorry, I meant Kaufman and (Moss) Hart play
