Cakes and Ale: Or, The Skeleton in the Cupboard

Somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars, but I don't feel right about rounding up this time.

There are several rambling parts that are deadly boring, just blah blah blah about beauty or The Writer's Life or whatever; I strongly suggest skipping these bits. Basically, whenever you sense that Maugham is straying from the plot just skim until he picks the thread back up, it makes the book much more enjoyable.

That being said, I'm glad I finished it because I liked the way he ended things quite a bit.
