"Like all the Wodehouse novels which I have had the pleasure to read 'Full Moon' had me stitches throughout the narrative. As usual, Blandings is home to cruelly separated lovers, thus the lovable but brutish-looking Bill Lister worms his way into the castle under many guises. They include: a painter of pigs, a gardener with an Assyrian beard, and long-dead wildlife artist Edwin Landseer. Add a wealthy American bachelor who is convinced that a- the afore-mentioned Bill Lister is an alcohol-induced hallucination and b- his married friend is getting it on with the girl of his dreams in secluded flower patches of the garden and you've got a recipe for farcical success!"

" Amusing, but not one of Wodehouse's best. "
— Andrew, 2/12/2014 -
" A nice read, but not as good as other Wodehouse books I've read, particularly the ones set at Blandings. "
— Kanika, 2/8/2014 -
" Silly and clever at the same time. I loved the word-plays and the clever way he used quotes to humourous effect. I'm sure I didn't pick up on all of the quotes, but that didn't spoil the fun. "
— JackieB, 2/2/2014 -
" A Blandings Castle story. Full of those marvelous Emsworth misunderstandings and constantly intersecting, tangled plots. "
— Nancy, 1/14/2014 -
" Excellent Blandings story. Featured Galahad Threepwood and Hermione, a hitherto unseen Wodehouse Aunt. "
— Ian, 12/26/2013 -
" High-larious! This is the first Wodehouse I've enjoyed audibly and Jeremy Sinden is excellent. Loved his interpretation of Lord Emsworth and his languorous Veronica Wedge made me laugh. Generally, I've read Wodehouse, but now I want to listen to as many as possible! "

" Expected something better from Mr. Wodehouse. "
— Rajendra, 12/7/2013 -
" Wodehouse was at his best, and most fluent, either side of WWII, and this 1947 Blandings novel is on of the very best. "
— John, 12/1/2013 -
" Sometimes you just need a little break from reality. PG Wodehouse gives me this as the master of mistaken identity and odd personalities. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live in the midst of characters such as these. "
— Rebecca, 11/19/2013 -
" When my brain needs a vacation, but my intellect can't bear a bodice-ripper, I come to good ol' Wodehouse. "
