How long do you give a book before dropping it? My answer is about 20 percent, which is where I dropped this one. I didn't absolutely hate it, but it just wasn't doing anything for me. It was amusing at times, but it was also boring quite a bit of the time. Ignatius is a character you understand immediately and he just... lives. That in itself is fine. I like overexaggerated characters. It's just that there is no real depth to anything that happens in this book. It's just standard satire. I guess I'm one of those people who was not that into it.
