The Rotters' Club

Jonathan Coe

The funniest bit of this alleged "masterpiece" was the anaglypta cover, very 70s. Nothing in the book matched it.

Quite funny, but over-hyped and therefore disappointing.

I knew I would enjoy this because of the subject matter - growing up in the 70s (as I did). I also admired it because it didn't just scratch the surface of the subject and reminded me of lots of things I'd forgotten. However, he does set up the humorous situations very clunkily - you really see them coming.

Bob had read this when it first came out and had been disappointed. He'd recently read it again and enjoyed it
