Query: A tremendously dim outlook

Being an avid reader of travel books, I have to say that this is one of the most depressing books I've ever read. Paul Theroux does an amazing job of describing a Great Britain on the verge of depression, desolation, and decay. By his viewpoints, we should expect the country to come to a screeching halt in the very near future by virtue of its unemployment, incompetance, disrepair, and violence. I found this book so difficult to read that I did not finish it, and gave it away.
