Funny and brilliantly written.
I still prefer Three Men in a Boat, but this was a very close second.
I did think there were a few lulls and quite a few references that i just didn't get...but otherwise, a brilliant book with truly endearing characters.
I will definitely be reading more by this author.

Delightfully preposterous and witty.

Amusing. Not sure where the “FUNNIEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN, 4.32-on-Goodreads-level proverbial ROFLs” crowd is coming from, but indeed, capital-A amusing.
As I've come from expect from P.G. Wodehouse, this was hilarious. Farcical, witty, written in a style uniquely his.
In this particular escapade, Bertie finds himself staying at Totleigh Towers, the country home of Sir Watkyn Bassett, an obsequious magistrate with a vicious vendetta against poor old Bertram. Along the way we encounter wronged policemen, a LOT of blackmail, cow-creamers, notebooks and, of course, an array of beloved characters like Gussie Fink-Nottle, Aunt Dahlia, Roderick Spode and Stiffy Byng.
Wodehouse keeps you hooked until the very end. I also loved the ending - it was really well resolved, with Bertie sleeping peacefully in his bed, believing everything is well with the world (that is, until the next time!)
I will never stop recommending this series, because when it comes to comedic literature, this is the best.
