Awful. A total waste of time. It's about a 25 year old mama's boy, who if he were rich would buy a house near London and move into it with his mama. He goes with this girlfriend for 7 years before he kisses her. She is the most wonderful thing in the world. Then he drops her for no reason and takes up with either her sister or friend (I couldn't tell which). Now this girl is the most wonderful thing in the world until he drops her for no reason. Finally, his mama dies. What is he going to do? He never grows and changes. I thought all of the characters were screwed up. If this is great literature, give me a comic book. I've read a lot since the 4th grade in 1954 and this is the worst book I've ever read. Don't bother with it. ( )
