I kind of devoured this book. After weeks of bogging myself down with the scant pickings from the local library, and the choice of Roots or War and Peace I allowed myself something a little more mainstream, which comes highly recommended from a few of the German book clubs. Harold was pretty magical, and very engaging, but the ending changes from jaunty to depressing fast with two plot twists that threw me, though one was somewhat predictable.
Overall Harold deserves his chart climbing status as a mystery novel without a murder, written in an entirely British-humor way.
