Bad. Real bad. I did not expect this. At all. From Wodehouse. I agree, I haven't read that many of his works but I have read some, and have also heard others praising his books. So I was thoroughly disappointed when I appeared to be in wet sand while I was reading it. I literally couldn't move. I was reading the book so slowly that I think I used to read faster when I was in KG! Okay, some stories in the middle were kind of good. But the ones at first and most prominently the last ones were B O R I N G. It took some miracle for me to complete it. I was actually praying to God to let me finish it, I believe.
I can't say any more. I don't think I would even give this 1 star. But just for the rare good stories, and for the Wodehouse label, I give it 2.
I just hope future ones are not this bad.
Oh, by the way, I have been seeing Wodehouse books in my library whose covers are out of the ordinary Wodehouse covers. I was hesitant to pick these up at first. And now I know that my instinct was right.

Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, except anyone who just waiting for some thing to catch on to to criticise Wodehouse.
