" 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. "
