A review by schellenbergk
Cocktail Time by P.G. Wodehouse

Wodehouse is never bad, but this is neither one or his best nor one of his worst. It falls right in the middle - some amusing bits and some predictable bits. U ncle Fred isn't quite the great comic creation that Bertie Wooster is or Jeeves is. Also, I never realized until this book how much having the Jeeves saga told from Bertie's POV (which it is in all but one book if I recollect) adds to the books' power. The same jokey style loses its punch a bit when it's used by a supposedly omniscient narrator.
