The Code of the Woosters by P.G. Wodehouse
4.75
Shamefully, I've never read P.G. Wodehouse. This was a fantastic introduction to his work.
I have always heard that Jeeves & Wooster tales we uproariously funny - and I found myself laughing at the relently comedy in this book. It was a farcical tale - yet Wodehouse has created vibrant characters, who you enjoy laughing with (or indeed, 'at').
The pacing is fantastic - and considering the whole plot is centred around stealing a cow creamer, the book moves at relently pace! There are several plot threads that Wodehouse ingeniously interweaves - all connecting together in a comedy of errors.
The sardonic Jeeves is also a perfect foil to the upper class nonsense around him. Wodehouse simultaneously mocks the class Wooster represents, whilst also creating characters you want to know more about. A genius piece of comedy.
