I ...Do you think anyone would find Wodehouse scary? I suppose his clever way with language might be offputting if readers weren't used to it. It's an interesting thought. If anyone reads the Faulks & then goes on to Wodehouse, I think he's done his job well as he says in the Preface. I was so pleasantly surprised by this book, it was a real treat.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-14259158121344977962014-03-29T18:42:40.542+11:002014-03-29T18:42:40.542+11:00I bought this Jeeves book as soon as it come out, ...I bought this Jeeves book as soon as it come out, even thigh it was hardback which I rarely do unless it is on offer. I loved it. It reminded me of the great fun of Jeeves and Wooster and I want to go back and reread them I also wonder anyone new to Wodehouse might want to start with Faulks book, because I think it shows that Wodehouse is not scary just great fun reads.
