Nigel Lambert does a very good job narrating this Blandings Castle entry. Plus it has a lot of Galahad :) ( ) Who doesn't like Wodehouse? It's situational and narrative humor at its best. But you really have to be in the mood for it, and even then, I'll go so far as to say Wodehouse is best consumed in short story form. It's hard enough to sustain the humor for a novel length book at Wodehouse's madcap pace, but it's been harder to sustain the laughs. After a few chapters a reader can become inured to the comedy, and start to feel a bit numb, especially when character development is necessarily thin-to-non-existent, and the plotting not much more complex than the characters. This isn't a criticism; humor succeeds where both are pushed to the background. Short or long length though, Wodehouse is a genius. Here we have another enjoyable visit to Blandings Castle. Lord Emsworth yet again confirms his place as my favourite Wodehouse character. The Duke of Dunstable is also highly entertaining, albeit nowhere near as likable as the earl. Although not the funniest in the series, “Pelican” has enough humour for my tastes. Bless my soul, it does. Expect plenty of mishaps and misunderstandings, plus a couple of complicated love stories, and Lord Emsworth’s usual obsession with his pig. A capital read. Capital, yes, capital, capital. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
