Waugh II

OK, I admit it. I read this one BEFORE Decline and Fall. It's not really a sequel, but it does involve some of the same characters. And it's just as good a read.

But if you don't have time to read a book, you can always watch the movie (see blurb on cover):


Very well done, except they changed the ending.

Incidentally, since the book was published in 1930, and the movie wasn't released until 2004 (i.e., the book inspired the movie, and not the other way around), the rules at Offspring #2's crunchy preschool would permit him to pretend to be earnest aspiring novelist Adam Fenwick-Symes, and one of the girls in his class could pretend to be his fiancée Nina Blount. Even if the bright young preliterate things had seen the movie but hadn't read the book!
