This is a sequel to The Rotters' Club (bwl 34). 30 years on, many of the same characters reappear, with Tony Blair's government in the background. As expected, the characters' fortunes have varied. Worth reading to see how, but I found it less amusing than the first volume. Nevertheless Coe is good at inventing memorable characters and unexpected situations as well as telling an interesting story.
