This was my first P G Woodhouse novel and it was a fun, commical, easy to read book. Having watched the Fry and Laurie T. V adaptation I knew I could read the series somewhat out of order since I already knew the characters. The plot of the book feels like classic jeeves and wooster, it does sometimes feel quite predictable but the odd twist helps to keep it fresh. The characters are generally a little one dimensional and you never feel any emotional attachement to any of them, however the style of this book doesn't really call for it. Can't really give it more than 3.5 stars based on my historical readings of other books but if you want a fun light comedy to read it's a good choice and I'll happily read more of the series.
