This sort of reminded me of all those cult classics which I just couldn't get in to. Maybe it's the British humor thing, I just don't find it funny. Anyway this was a miss for me and I won't be continuing this horrifyingly long series. I found the two main character unlikable and I was totally indifferent to their plight.
