It's not because I don't understand the book, I do... [...] really knows a lot about boys, what's with all the naked kids running around!?
A surprise if all you were expecting was a load of little people. I found it became a little formulaic and so got a bit bored.
It must take [...] at least five chapters to get off his butt and leave the house. The giant should have eaten the annoying little bugger and saved us all a sequel to swim through.

A collection of insane ramblings and occurrences... about a man on a search for truth and meaning in the world, but he did this by getting drunk and pretending he liked poor people
The prose seems like a caricature of [the author's] famous style... This isn't really a good war story or love story. I don't really know what it is.
It is upper class British drivel. This book should be dropped from school curriculum.
The only people who should read this book are people who belong to so called 'intellectual' parties, or people who have committed terrible crimes.
