The Travels and Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen

I enjoyed the beginning when the Baron was fighting wolves and bears with his bare hands, however things became increasingly ridiculous. It was more silly and less fun, and the prose became increasingly purple. You need a bit of staying power past the halfway mark. By the time Don Quixote turned up I'd really had enough but, like the Baron himself, I don't quit easily so I finished the book, however not without a sigh of relief.
