Top daft daftness. Farce at its best. At one point this chap is actually pretending to be himself. No sign of Jeeves or Wooster so rather disorientating until you stop worrying about it and enjoy the tale. ( )

Now I have to come clean ... I am a big PG Wodehouse fan, as well as his books I also own several audiobooks of his stories or the BBC dramatisation of his stories. And Piccadilly Jim does not disappoint, it's full of the typical 'wodehouse' characters set in the typical 'wodehouse' plot ... which is to say literally anything can (and will!) happen. Kidnapping plots, people assuming false names and identities (in one case one fellow pretending to be someone else pretending to be himself .... picture The Life of Brian with men dressed as women pretending to be men ...), put-upon husbands, pretentious poets, phoney inventors, thiefs and the usual smattering of butlers - some even are who they claim to be.
If all you know about PG Wodehouse is that Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie once played Jeeves and Wooster I urge you to read some of his other books, and this one would not be a bad place to start. ( )

Great Read. ( )
