So far I have enjoyed the actual beauty and wit of the prose and the very clever characterisations. But I think this is a book to read quietly and at leisure when the spirit strikes rather than one to read straight through and analyse. This isn't by any means meant to be a negative criticism; after all the same can be said of the greatest of all biographical works: Boswell's Life of Johnson.
