The Code of the Woosters
by P.G. Wodehouse
Think what you will, but I consider this book to be read, even if I listened to it as an audiobook and it was slightly annotated. There are several reasons for this: my mom and I listened to the Code of the Woosters at the end of my sophomore year because it’s more engaging than music- you’re listening to and processing the dialogue and storyline. Also, it was outrageously funny the first time I listened to it! It was actually a dramatized radio adaptation, one that still had the narration by the main character, but it also included different voice actors who played different parts. There might be fewer inclusions of “he said” or “she said”, but the overall story and dialogue remain the same.
I can’t put an exact finger on it, but I was laughing uproariously at Code of Woosters in the car several years ago, but I just wasn’t in stitches like last time. It could be that I was working while I was listening to this (it’s not a long audiobook at all), which took my mind of the story a little. I would love to be able to fully multitask, but I’m not kidding myself.
Overall, the story is such a classic British mix up that only Bertie Wooster could find himself in. He has to steal a cow creamer for his Aunt Dahlia, but while attempting to do so, makes an enemy of Roderick Spode, and gets entangled in several engaged couples’ fiascos, and everything becomes a Catch-22 situation for Bertie. However, as usual, Jeeves with his dry humor and quick thinking, offers several suggestions for a solution.
This story is bursting at the seams with classic British humor, very dry and silly with outrageous characters. I would recommend devoting your full mind to this and not trying to multitask too much. It’s so funny, and I believe one of the more recognizable of the Jeeves and Wooster series. I can’t wait to start reading from the beginning, and maybe I’ll re-read this one and discover the words on paper.
