This review is from: I, Libertine (Mass Market Paperback)
Since the book was written by Theodore Sturgeon, more or less, it's tempting to rate it as "90% crap," but that's much too flip and not entirely fair either. As a comedy of lusty, brawling, rascally social climbing written in mid-20th century and set in the 18th, it's...undistinguished. As a *pastiche* of a comedy of lusty, brawling, rascally etc...well, its pastichity is really the only thing that distinguishes it. As Jean Shepherd's infamous "Manifesto of the Night People," it frankly disappoints.

I read this while convalescing from surgery. It is good enough for that, and it is possible that it reads better when consumed in robust good health.
