Big Money P G Wodehouse


ISBN: 1841591513

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
