Minus the second-to-last chapter, this was good and oh-so-funny. The Camel ride, presentation at court, etc--hilarious!

I got really bored. And didn't find it funny at all, not even slightly amused.

So, the 4 star review is actually more justified this time around.
I can see how this book became the cut bits from book one - while the stories are funny, they're not as funny as the stories featured in the first book.
The race slagging was more prominent, again - Mame does not support that kind of talk/attitude, and she makes it known. Still, I wish it wasn't in the book at all... even though it was the time, at least the people who were nasty got what was coming to them in the form of irritation and or called out/blackened out from society.
Sitting back, taking both books in, I wish that a tv series was made of these books. I feel like anybody could play Mame and Patrick. Maybe one day they will make a tv show based on it. If they do I will be there and ready.

Sono rimasta molto delusa da questo libro perchè dopo aver letto tempo fa "Zia Mame" avevo pensato di trovarci nuove avventure strampalate e umoristiche della signora Mame e invece le avventure ci sono ma non sono troppo divertenti e risultano anche troppo costruite.

Forse meno brillante rispetto a Zia Mame, ma importa relativamente, perchè fare un viaggio intorno all'Europa (e non solo) in compagnia di quella pazza di Mame è una di quelle occasioni da non perdere!

Patrick's story of growing up with Auntie Mame fills in a missing chapter from the first book -- the tale of their trip to Europe. This book continues in the same vein -- over the top, madcap adventures.
Interesting chapter in here when Mame and Patrick go to the Soviet Union and end up in a commune. Apparently this chapter was not allowed to be published when the book was first published, but they found it and put it in this edition. The book was obviously rewritten (in the 50s) to not include it, but it certainly is an interesting piece, and fun to have it back.

3.5 in realtà. Molto divertente come lettura ma molto ripetitiva
