Thoroughly absorbing.... A subtle psychological situation.

There are some capitally drawn pictures of Parisian low life and its types, and a few thrilling adventures. The whole conception is so forcible that one can hardly get on fast enough.

More acceptable than the ordinary run of novels because it is more amusing, less pretentious and not so long. About as long as the ordinary novel might be if only novelists would omit superfluities. Just the right length.

Now and again you have the extreme luck to run across a book that is really FUNNY. Not the machine-made, madly-advertised type. 'The Need of Change' is the kind that usually you pick up by accident, start to run through casually, find yourself startled into a chuckle by some unexpected humorous line, and end by reading every word with zest and hustling around to loan it to your friends.... Keeps the reader in one continuous howl; the fun never becomes forced. A gem!
