One of Wodehouse's best stand-alone books, or so I think so far (I haven't read them all yet). Jonathan Cecil is in top form narrating this audiobook edition. ( )

To be honest I wasn't completely focused listening to this book (read by Jonathan Cecil in an excellent way as usual) but the story kept losing me. Or if I lost the story. Too many characters that were too similar.

Still classic Wodehouse. I would not put it on top 15 but after the first fifteen Wodehouse books, why not. ( )

Hugely enjoyable tale of multi-engagements, subterfuge, finance daft scenarios. ( )
  cbinstead | Oct 11, 2020 |
A large cast of characters in typical Wodehouse scenarios, starring two young men with the unlikely names Berry and Biscuit. The story involves high finance, integrity and broken engagements as well as double- and triple-crossing by dubious people from the dregs of society.

The people are rather two-dimensional and unmemorable, but it doesn't spoil an enjoyable story that made me smile several times. Wodehouse's stories rather stretch one's credulity but it doesn't matter; plenty of ironical humour, and a dramatic - if slightly ridiculous - ending.

Well worth the 50 cents I paid for this at a church bookstall.

On an afternoon in May, at the hour when London pauses in its labours to refresh itself with a bite of lunch, there was taking place in the coffee-room of the Drones Club in Dover Street that pleasantest of functions, a reunion of old school friends.
