Julian Fellows is obsessed with the ways of the snobbish aristocracy and his first book Snobs took a humerous look how hard it is hard for the parvenue to break into the British upper class no matter how much money they have. In this book his obsession continues through the eyes of the narrator who spends a lot of the time bemoaning the fact that the good old days of the true aristocracy are gone and that the real moneyed who tend to ape the ways of the old aristocracy just don't have that inbred sense of class to get them over the line. I plodded my way through to the end hoping that Fellows would inject some of his well known wit into the book but alas he didn't. Awaiting his next book in hope!
