Author : P.G.WoodHouse
Review:
One reads P.G.Wodehouse to laugh. One does not look for
logic nor meaning in the plot. Woodhouse
books are well known for their situational humor, the sort of humor which builds
up and throws the characters into weird circumstances throwing the readers into
fits of laughter.
This book is not much different than his other books. Bertram
Wooster decides to visit Aunt Dahlia at Brinkley Court, once again. But unlike
the other times, Aunt Dahlia’s house is full of visitors, few of them with a
complicated past. Wooster smells trouble but still braves the visit without
Jeeves. As expected, people take full advantage of his good nature, and he ends
up in a mess resulting in hilarious circumstances. He finds himself falsely
engaged to a lady who hatches a plot to use him as a bait to get to her true
love. Things get more complicated when there is a theft of his uncle’s precious
silver cow creamer. Wooster lands in a big soup until Jeeves comes to the
rescue.
The humor is abundant in this book, but I would have loved
to see more of Jeeves. But the plot demands the absence of Jeeves for a long
time, so the plot drags a little bit till his entrance. But overall, it does
provide for a good laugh.
We read P.G.Wodehouse books as stress busters . In the current
times where humor is celebrated dark, twisted or cheap, his books provide a
great comic relief, especially to those
readers who still appreciate the good old classic humorous style of writing. I
would any day recommend P.G.Wodehouse to my fellow book readers.
