4.0 out of 5 stars Not what you'd call an average boarding school story..., 16 May 2001
By A Customer
Do not be put off by the fact that this is, undeniably, a boarding school story. There is no hint of the usual 'overcoming bullies to become the pride of the school' with a bit of cricket thrown in. This is simply a very witty, slick chronicle of educational anarchy. Psmith is one of Wodehouse's best creations, and I would rank this alongside, if not above the Jeeves books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enter Psmith, 20 Oct 2007
This review is from: Mike and Psmith (Paperback)
`Mike and Psmith' is very much a transitional story in the growth of Wodehouse as a writer. It still heavily features Mike, Wodehouse's clean cut English schoolboy cricketer, but also introduces us to Psmith re-setting his monocle in the mirror and famously announcing to the world he grows `thinner and thinner' and addressing anyone as `Comrade'; not the best way to make friends in a turn of the twentieth century English boarding school.

The story is a typical Wodehouse school affair with Mike sent to Sedleigh for not getting good marks at Wrykyn where he had been too busy gearing up to be the captain of the school cricket team to do any work. Mike's reputation had preceded him to Sedleigh and so his refusal to appear in the first eleven is taken as a snub.

Will Mike come to his senses and play for the honour of the old school tie, well who cares provided Psmith manages to make us laugh with his insolence and peculiar diction. This book is the start point for Wodehouse's assent to the heights he was later to achieve and I can only hazard a guess as to how many canings this book lead to with schoolboys referring the their Headmasters as `Comrade'.
