Excellent as usual
As usual, DeBotton does well.
A very timely book, and as is DeB's way, written from first hand knowledge, experience and interviews. Very well put together overall, with DeB's own musings and navel gazing sounding genuine.
The writing in Pleasures may strike some as a bit flowery at times, but in the end he doesn't overdo it, and it works.
