A review by ana90
The Man with Two Left Feet by P.G. Wodehouse
4.0
From this collection of short stories, I only read "Extricating Young Gussie" and decided to leave the rest for some future opportunity, because I was primarily interested in the first ever appearance of Jeeves and Wooster from 102 years ago!
There is virtually no Jeeves in the story so it's lacking in the essence of what is to become Jeeves and Wooster - Jeeves' cunning problem-solving skills, the dynamic he has with Wooster, the refusal to cooperate on account of ugly socks or vests, and the snide indeed-sirs that make Wooster's blood boil.
However, the story on the whole is not bad at all. It's cute, funny and light-hearted, with just enough Woosterisms and Aunt-Agathaisms to make it recognizable as a Wooster story at the very least. Enjoyable, short and to the point, a solid 4/5.
