Read half, listened to half of audiobook
Blundering gentlemen and outrageous circumstances make exceptionally good holiday reading
PG Wodehouse is always a fun time! There is a rather less than racially sensitive moment used as part of a larger gag, but otherwise this is a fun story, and a nice light read for that part of the summer where reading outside means risking the book spontaneously combusting.

How silly can one story get? a lot actually and a lot tangled too.
The whole story is based on the concept of "lets see what happens later", a really good read though.
The characters pretty good and the premise cahnges so much over the couse of 20 chapters as there is no 1 end goal which it leads but mostly solving the mess created by actions recently done.
Although the book is on Uncle Fred , its the Uncle Alaric the star who's prejudiced views and absolute disregard of other is something everyone has known one such person atleast.

What a delightful storyteller! It took me a while to place my anchor on all the characters but once I did all systems were a go.
this was another super enjoyable Blandings Castle installment by Wodehouse, and I believe the first appearance of uncle Fred. i enjoyed this book and it had all the classic schemes and love plots of a wodehouse book. I don't think i enjoyed it as much as some (i thought jt took a while for things to get going and didn't find the new characters particularly intriguing) but still very enjoyable nonetheless
Uncle Fred is barmy to the tonsils. Never trust him.
i do wish his nephew Pongo had fewer occasions to remark on his tendency to hug girls more than is required. And where Psmith looks on life as a game and doesn’t mind rewriting other people’s experiences to their face, Uncle Fred is *really* a danger to traffic and pedestrians. No wonder he’s not allowed at large. (But the ludicrously over-convoluted plot is all very tidily wrapped up at the end.)
i feel like i enjoyed Uncle Fred more the first time (aside from the handsiness). i think the incredulity of the first reading helps.
