I’m pretty allergic to picaresque novels in any case and this so-called “romp” completely failed to engage me. The third volume of a trilogy it carries on the “comic” adventures and encounters of Michael Cullen whom I first met in volume one entitled A Start in Life. I didn’t like him much then and he doesn’t improve on acquaintance. Stretching things out into a trilogy is going a good few steps too far and I found the book tedious, silly and unconvincing. Disappointing.
