I love Fawlty Towers but I gave this 3 stars because knowing the stories so well from the show meant that reading the scripts didn't reveal anything new. Plus while I enjoy the humour, it makes me cringe too much!

Okay, here we go: The writing is exquisite, the story is cringe-inducing, and the characters are morally reprehensible. Every few pages I had to look up & say, "Is my marriage like that? No? Oh, thank god." Read if you want to be depressed for the rest of the weekend.

I read this awhile back and forgot to move it over to my "read" shelf. This was a pretty good read. I've noticed some people's comments trying to put a historical value on the work but I don't think you can do that with this book and expect to make sense of it. I think you have to just take it at face value and see the realism of it through the story the author is telling. I found it very thought-provoking.
