Book Reviews of Around the World With Auntie Mame

Book Review: Great sequel to "Auntie Mame" by a master of dry humour.
Summary: 4 Stars

The story begins some few years after the end of the first story, with Patrick and Pegeen mourning the fact that their son,Mike has not returned from his trip with Mame. To soothe his wife's anxieties Patrick tells her a (brief) version of his trip to pre war Europe.We get the full version...

Patrick Dennis is always at his best exposing the vulgar,prejudiced and just plain nasty people of the world and here he has a whole new cast of villians to choose from. Mame gets in and out of hot water,assisted on occasion by her friend Vera, with Patrick usually several steps behind. There is a meeting with Beau's cousin which proves that some family ties should be amputated and a tussle with some Austrian Nazis that ends with Mame blowing up a castle.

Altogether a funny,sometimes poignant book, well up to the standard of the original I've read it often and still chuckle. Jane Davitt
