Book Review of The Hippopotamus

The Hippopotamus
The Hippopotamus
Author: Stephen Fry
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 4


An entertaining, well-paced, quick read. I have to admit that I skipped much of the start because I didn't like the character, but then the bile-spitting turned down to a palatable level and I'm glad I stuck with it. There were a few laugh-out-loud moments for me. Conclusion: Although I'm not compelled to seek one out right away, I might look for other Fry novels at some point.
