A Pelican at Blandings (Abridged) Audiobook

" Took a break from Crime and Punishment to read this on Sunday. Perfect accompaniment for the first afternoon of spring :) "

" It's amazing how dear old P.G managed to wrangle so many variations on the same theme- the gorgon aunt/sister, pigs, young love thwarted then retrieved, the imposter and so on. A late entry in the field and not one of the best but still worth a chuckle or two "

" This may be my favorite so far. So silly. "

" Hmmm. Not the best and brightest. "

" (U.S. title: No Nudes is Good Nudes) "

" Inspired repetitiveness was one of Wodehouse's most effective laugh-raising techniques, but by the time he came to write A Pelican at Blandings, he'd run through all his old jokes and plot ideas too many times. This book, published in his dotage, recycles all the old Blandings Castle tropes but entirely lacks the sparkle and charm of its predecessors. If you love Wodehouse, particularly the Blandings books, I strongly recommend giving this one a miss. "

" You never get tired of Wodehouse..Brilliant "

" Quite good! One of the best ones in the Blandings Castle series. "

" Kinda running out of Wodehouse here. "

" It was a light funny read, as P. G. Wodehouse's books always are. I laughed out loud many times. "

" Subtle English Humor. Always a pleasure. "

" A hoot! Wodehouse, the consummate juggler, throws his zany balls into the air, makes them do acrobatics, and then catches them all in a grand finale. The man should write musical comedies. "

" Wodehouse stays the same forever. He never disappoint me :) "

" Great. I had read before in the early eighties under another title. Lotsa fun. "

" Wonderful character sketches, witty dialogue and preposterous plot development. "

" Another hilarious farce. I love the pig-minded earl, his imperious sister, and his free-spirited younger brother. "

" Audiobook downloaded from library. Not quite as great as the Jeeves/Wooster series but still very enjoyable. I'd like to read the series from the beginning. "

" Frederick Davidson (aka David Case) is one of my favorite narrators of 20th Century English fiction. His talents really shine in his narration of A Pelican at Blandings. This is the last book Wodehouse completed in the Blandings series. "

" Love this book. Tons of fun. "

" If you haven't read any Wodehouse, you're missing out! It's such a fun escape, and I have enjoyed my trip through the Blandings Castle series. Only one more to go. "

" A delightful, easy read. Nothing serious here. "

" Once again, Lord Emsworth and Uncle Galahad produce the laughs. "

" My next favourite character after Lord Emsworth - a whole book devoted to the natty Galahad Threepwood. A treat!! "

" Love the Blandings books! Always so witty and entertaining! Wodehouse is wonderfully apt at a humorous/ironic turn-of-phrase that catches me off-guard and makes me laugh out loud. "

" Quite good! One of the best ones in the Blandings Castle series. "

" Great. I had read before in the early eighties under another title. Lotsa fun. "

" Wonderful character sketches, witty dialogue and preposterous plot development. "

" “The Duke of Dunstable, though pop eyed and far too heavily moustached for most tastes, was no poltroon” "

" Lots of fun to listen to in the car. Great silliness. "

" Amazing, funny and very very British. The perfect reading for my sparetime. "

" Frederick Davidson (aka David Case) is one of my favorite narrators of 20th Century English fiction. His talents really shine in his narration of A Pelican at Blandings. This is the last book Wodehouse completed in the Blandings series. "

" Once again, Lord Emsworth and Uncle Galahad produce the laughs. "

" Well, it's a P. G. WODEHOUSE novel. So, do I still need to write a review?! Just go read it. "

" British English - many new vocabs. Wodehouse style - fantastic. Superlative humor. "
