P. G. Wodehouse
Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (1881-1975) was an English author. Though he was named after his godfather, the author was not a fan of his name and more commonly went by P.G Wodehouse. Known for his comedic work, Wodehouse created reoccurring characters that became a beloved staple of his literature. Though most of his work was set in London, Wodehouse also spent a fair amount of time in the United States. Much of his work was converted into an “American” version, and he wrote a series of Broadway musicals that helped lead to the development of the American musical. P.G Wodehouse’s eclectic and prolific canon of work both in Europe and America developed him to be one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've read only two earlier books by this humour genius, now I wish to devour all without wait. This is small book, but full of so many comedy of errors that one cannot not laugh out loud (not of LOL variety) every other page. Author's favourite style is to put two character in contact and communication, each referencing entirely different subject, and bewildering at plausible direction the conversation is taking, yet still trying to salvage, but not really giving away their own confusion in search of clarity. Author breaks the fourth wall often, giving direct commentary to reader on topics related or unrelated to books. One cannot help wondering how well this narrative will suit a motion picture! Must read and you will be thankful that you did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Super funny!! My friends think I am crazy because I laugh alone while reading it
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really 3.5. Love me some Wodehouse.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Despite the occasional rambling paragraph, this is Wodehouse at his best. Here the author unleashes some of his funniest scenes and most appealing characters.Sam isn’t your typical hero. He tells white lies and causes chaos to achieve his goals but is no less likeable for doing so.Billie is a wonderful heroine and I understand Sam’s desire to marry her. Many of the dialogue exchanges between these two are fantastic. For instance, the following is a snippet from a dinner scene where Billie discovers she already knew Sam’s father, while Sam - recently rebuffed by Billie - is doing his utmost to be cold and aloof:>"I never dreamed Sir Mallaby was your father.""I knew it all along," said Sam.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Frothy and fun, like all good Wodehouse should be! My favorite Wodehouse is still the entire Jeeves collection, but this was a very good standalone story with a different cast of characters.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I know I was looking for VERY light reading, but I found this trite and only slightly humorous until the end. Probably dated and just not my cup of tea. Maybe just the mood I am in at the moment? The ending was very funny.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love a good romanic comedy, and this one is delicious. If you've enjoyed Jeeves and Wooster, you may also enjoy meeting a younger P.G. Wodehouse, still grapling with style and chacterization and situation, but very capable and amusing. In my home town, we were preparing for natural disaster, coming on the anniversary of huricane Katrina, All those I knew were anxious. Before it was over many had lost their homes and posessions, but during the dark nights of evacuation, it was P.G. Wodehouse and this delightful novel read by Tim Bulkeley of LibriVox.org who kept us company and gave us laughter to endure. Please read this book, you will laugh out loud. Reading time approx. 5:42.
