Big Money P G Wodehouse
2 April, 2008
I love P G Wodehouse. I am an odd ball amongst Wodehouse fans in that I tend to avoid the Blandings and the Jeeves books and hover around the stand alone stories like a hyper glycemic fly round honey…
Plot:
Chumps: Clueless adorable guys and gals find true love despite themselves and each other
Humps: How rude – not those kind – this is Wodehouse you remember – it is merely that the course of true love does not run smooth. Especially if you are engaged to the wrong person
Mumps: Its OK they are imaginary mumps.. Read the book and you will know what Imean…
Characters:
The standard and wonderful Wodehouse guys and girls by turns dizzyingly ditzy and pulse stopingly pragmatic. Beautifully drawn one and all
What to love:
Twisty plot, gorgeous dialogue, terribly funny, happy ever after
What to loathe:
Not quite as good as my fave Wodehouses – but honestly that is a pretty high standard
Buy, Borrow or Bin:
Buy – Really very good – also the hardbacks out at the moment are truly beautiful.
If this book was a drink it would be:
Rose Tea – Light, fragrant, complex and reassuring whilst being strangely unexpected
