While picking up plenty of Molesworthisms, I'd never actually read any of the books before. It's fun, rings pretty true of prep schools, and Searle's illustrations are wonderful. On the other hand, it's a bit short and not terribly varied - for comparison (ignoring the illustrations) I preferred One-upmanship. I suspect The Compleet Molesworth would be a better size.
