Here is the summary from Amazon:<br/><br/>1938 diary of Oswald Hendryks Cornelius - his memories at age 43 of his escapades some 25 years earlier. <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41704956">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first saw this book in a bookstore, I didn't think it's the same Roald Dahl who writes children books.  When I finally read the book and confirmed that the writer is the same person who wrote Matilda, I was blown away (although rather creeped up).  He's fantastic... and surprisingly erotic ;)<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3099169">more...</a>]]></body>
