As a character Warble is pretty good. Good enough, in fact, to carry the reader through the first fifty pages - unfortunately, the book last for another three hundred. This book may have been better if Warble had a decent supporting cast (Mary isn't good enough - too much witlessness and not enough foil) but as it is the novel is just a dull and monotonous rant with the occasional get rich quick scheme. Comedy is made in contrast and this book just didn't have it.

Oh, and the narration that crops up at the end of nearly every chapter is terrible - as is Warble was omniscient and narrating his own novel. In short this book is a one trick pony - Warble, who is not funny enough on his own to fuel the whole story.
