Sometimes you have to knock yourself alongside your head and ask "Duh! Why did I ever think that?" That is what I felt while reading this book. Why I ever thought all P.G. Wodehouse ever did was write "Jeeves and Bertie Whooster" stories is beyond me.

I wasn't even 12 pages into this book and I was captivated. Even though there were occasional plot devices I anticipated before Wodehouse exposed them, I was still captivated.

Wodehouse stated he believed writing novels is like making a musical comedy without music. He sure succeeded here!
