Rating:  Summary: A Wonder Among Wodehouse Review: Where to begin trying to explain the comic genius of Pelham Grenville? Leave it to Psmith is a perfect example of the humor genre. It is light, bright, clean, unobjectionable (unless you adore fish), and even more importantly- hysterically, bone achingly funny.The tale covers of the triumphs and travails of genial, bemonocled, and decidedly socialistic Psmith. (The P is silent as in ptarmigan, psoriasis, and psychiatrist.) Laugh as Psmith woos the young herione, lobs flowerpots at his host, and generally runs nonchalantly amok until he heroically saves the day. A must read for anyone who loves to laugh!
Rating:  Summary: It leaves you with about as many stitches that your side can Review: Wodehouse has surpassed himself with this one. Never before has Psmith's cool sang-froid come to the rescue, nor Freddie's half-brained schemes failed quite so hilariously. Plum is in his element here!
Rating:  Summary: Fantastically Funny Review: Wodehouse is at his escapist best in this insane tale where Blandings collides with the suave, eternally calm Psmith. It has everything you could wish for:a pretty girl, bespectacled secretary, absentminded earl(with his lame brained son in tow) not to mention diamond necklaces and flowerpots! And of course the benevolent eye of Beach the butler surveying the mayhem.The other two Psmith books were hilarious but this one has me rolling on the floor even after a tenth reading.A sure fire hit!
Rating:  Summary: Wodehouse's Best Book Review: Written at the request of his daughter Leonora, this is the best and most popular book by the prolific P.G. Wodehouse. Psmith was his greatest creation, and if you've read the other three Psmith books first (and you should), it's very touching and funny to see him fall in love and make the ultimate sacrifice: masquerading as a sensitive poet and a jewel thief all at once. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: A very bad introduction to P G Wodehouse Review: Yes i mean it.But not because the book is humorless.Only, being among the best of plum, it raises very high expectations from your next wodehouses. Not even plum himself can sustain this high quality humour writing through out his books.If you have scaled Mount Everst in your first attempt, what else will interest you?
