The Ipcress File... just wondering...

... if I was the only one who thought that this book was, not only brilliant, but also hilarious?

I ask because Rex (Scmark) has mentioned that while he agress it was a great book, he didn't find it funny. We were wondering if this was a case of British / American humour / ways of looking at things?

Just curious...

RE: The Ipcress File... just wondering...

Chances are fairly good you and I are the only two here to have read it, Cap'n - the movie came out while I was in middle school, so I'm betting the book was published in the late '50s or early '60s

....goes to look...

Earliest publication date at "the River" is 1962. You sure you're not finding the book amusing 'cause it's so antique? (be careful...)

:-D

I'm 31 and the kids at work think I'm antique already!!

Oh well, it was worth a shot... I've lent my copy to an Eps member who may actually start writing for the site again. He's very cynical which is why I thought he'd enjoy the humour, but is a bit younger than me, so we shall just have to see!!

I want to read The Odessa File as well, but I'm definitely not expecting that to be funny!!
