Wonderful!


(5 stars)

I am just discovering Wodehouse. My comment is a repeat of s/o else, because it says everything. "The stories are the standard (and great Wodehouse), but the reader is something else. I would assume he must be a professional given his abilities. He reads incredibly including being able to do consistent distinct multiple character voices. Absolutely fabulous."

A fun collection of Wodehouse short stories. The narrator gave additional impetus to the humor. This migjt be a book which is better for listening than for my own rrading.

incredible

Lovely Wodehouse short stories which I hadn't heard before. Nicely read. On the whole in this case I enjoyed the voice characterisation except that the reader ought not attempt a French accent.

just spectacular!

(5 stars)

These are some wonderful, bite-sized chunks of Wodehouse, that can be enjoyed during little gaps in the day. Uncharacteristically, not all of these stories have happy endings, but there is still more than enough hilarity. The reader does an excellent job all round, but especially in terms of the characters' voices.
