Ugh. So annoying. So depressing. So full of stupid, obnoxious, bumbling, prejudiced characters. I stuck it out through the whole book hoping anyone was going to get what they deserved. I needn't have bothered.

Yes, OK, I get it. It's a farce that brilliantly illustrates the inherent absurdity of humanity and the tragic unfairness of the world. Blech.
