Critiques

OUT OF ADJECTIVES


(5 stars)

One runs out of adjectives trying to laud the humor of PGW. Everyone should enjoy this varied collection as pokes fun at various persons and institutions, including himself. The reading is very well done, with just the correct amount of tongue-in-cheek voice inflection.

The oldman reviewer said it perfectly. This is a witty collection of sayings & stories. If you want to read something with a central theme then this isn't what you should be picking. I listened before bed when I prefer something like this & short stories. I love Wodehouse.
