5.0 out of 5 stars The dazzling tip of a 24-carat iceberg, 24 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: What Ho!: The Best of P.G.Wodehouse (Paperback)
The only complaint that I have of this book is that it isn't long enough. Simply marvellous from beginning to end, focussing on all of Plum's characters from Psmith to Jeeves. The selection of letters and unfinished notes for novels (does anyone else really want to read "Help Yourself"?) provide a fascinating insight into the mind of Wodehouse, and the introduction by Stephen Fry is a charming tribute from one comic genius to another. Oh, and the short story "Uncle Fred Flits By" is not to be missed. Buy it

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge fun for new or Wodehouse seasoned readers, 28 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Steven Fry's touching introduction to this excellent collection is worth the price alone. As seasoned readers will agree gategorising or even explaining Wodehouse is impossible. All I can say is that like for many of the very best things in life, I almost envy those who have never experienced Wodehouse for the pleasure they have ahead. I am a relatively old hand, so for me his writing is like womb music - no matter how bad things get I can always take pleasure and relaxation from the writing, the charm and the great good humour of these innocent stories. They penetrate the human condition in a way that simply makes me feel better.

If you have not read Wodehouse before you may as well start here and save money and time by buying the hardback - you will need to replace soft backs at least once every couple of years.

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Good old-fashioned humour, 18 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: What Ho!: The Best of P.G.Wodehouse (Paperback)
This book was the first introduction I ever had to P.G. Wodehouse's writing; I by chance took a glance at it during a holiday in a moment of boredom, and was laughing myself stupid by the second paragraph. I am not a very easy person to please when it comes to comedic writing, but this is simply class, Wodehouse manages to create humour out of virtually nothing.
I for one adore this book in particular, because it is a concentration of excerpts of the author's best stories, so, rather than dragging on for ages and boring the reader - something impossible with Wodehouse anyway - each new chapter brings with it fresh, incredibly funny antics of the equally incredible characters.
