Hippopotamus

Recently finished Hippopotamus, a novel by Stephen Fry. 'twas an amusing read, with Fry's usual dlightful wit suffused throughout. I'm used to his full-on tidal wave of linguistic gymnastics from A Bit of Fry And Laurie, so this novel felt very restrained and calm in comparison. The ending was somewhat underwhelming, but the characters and use of language made the book a worthwhile read. I haven't read any of his other books, and I will keep an eye out for them.
