Customer Reviews

If you've had time for Edna and Les, you should try Barry

A very witty tale by Australia's master of satire which must in some way reflect the oddities of its authors celebrity lifestyle despite the disclaimer. It makes you feel that you're in the real world of this author. It has wry social observations and is easy to read.

What they do to the rich and famous

Some very witty insights, including: "This young man had .. made the rather useful discovery that people can usually be persuaded to accept you at your own estimation of yourself." I personally don't approve of Humphries using his fine intellect to make so many awful comments about people's appearances, but other people might like those bits best. Also, you must have an interest in sex to get full value from this book.
