I know that this book is supposed to be satirical but personally, I didn't see that or get it. It just felt too melodramatic and over the top that it just felt more like a fantasy than satirical fun.
I wasn't keen on A Picture of Dorian Gray either which was written by Beerbohm's good friend Oscar Wilde. I feel that I don't gel with the late 19th/early 20th century satirical writings by upper class men. If you like Oscar Wilde then do check this out.
