2 It got me bored

Probably if I lived in the XX century and if I was born 60 years earlier I would have enjoyed this book. Plus, I have never been to England. Maybe those who did would appreciate this book much more than I did.
Several chapters were interesting, e.g. the one about wine snobbery (because I think that this is something universal that still applies to any wine snob).

I managed to read the whole book for one only reason: the author's English is really good, he has a rich vocabulary and the book is written in a way which makes it very easy to read.
