What people on Hacker News said
I've only read two of his fiction books (Napoleon of Notting Hill and The Man who was Thursday), both of which are really funny.
I thought this was a very well written allegorical spy novel that had some very quippy dialogue.
The Man Who was Thursday by GK Chesterton....very well written allegorical spy novel.
