What Members Thought

Fun for the first couple hundred pages, it was a hair-pulling experience by the end. You will become exasperated with the characters, who are all extremely limited and unbelievably immutable, but if you enjoy learning about the Regency era and the Napoleonic Wars through a satirical rather than strictly historical lens, then this classic might still hold some interest for you.
