Leave It to Psmith Audiobook

" A silly but fun little romp "

" Did not realize this was fourth in a series -- doesn't seem to matter much though. I suppose one of the first three books gives more background on the fish. This is pretty classic Wodehouse - funny, well-crafted fluff. Not as tear-inducingly hilarious as the Jeeves and Wooster stories (because they were earlier in his career? Or because I'm 15 years older now?) but still amusing. "

" I like PG Wodehouse's series much better than his standalones. The character of Psmith had me laughing so much, and the plot was simply wonderful. This is one of those books you pick up and know straight away that whatever happens in the following pages, it's going to be delightful. "

" Though not as lovable as Jeeves and Wooster, Psmith is a worthy hero in his own right and should appeal to fans of the former. In this book, Psmith is hit with Cupid's arrow and must find a way to win his love while also taking part in a jewel heist--al for a worthy cause, of course. "

" PGW is so good he makes me want to play tennis. Drunk. "

" A well-constructed plot with chapters that end on a perfect note of suspense, but it's all light entertainment. If it were a food, it'd be something like a flavored rice cake. "

" My Uncle Bill gave me a beat up copy of this when I went to London last fall, and it provided many hours of solace and laughter. Mostly laughter. Wodehouse is brilliantly funny, Psmith is one of my favorite characters, and I need all of you to read it as soon as you possibly can. Seriously. "

" It's remarkably funny, and there are no dull spots at all. I found myself laughing out loud frequently. Amazing! "

" One of my top 3 Wodehouse novels. Beautifully written. PGW's description of Blandings stand up to any other pastorals. Also hilarious. "

" I adored this book. I was enamored with Psmith, loved most of the other characters, and still liked the rest of them. All the main and supporting characters were interesting, three-dimensional, and dynamic. Classic Wodehouse, which is to say, hilarious. "

" This is my favorite P. G. Wodehouse book at the moment-I reread and reread this book and it never gets old. Full of coincidences, dry humour, wit, and a certain amount of charm, this book is classic P. G. Wodehouse! "

" All time favorite Wodehouse. If I am ever depressed or need a laugh, the chapter with Baxter and the lemon colored pajamas is one of the funniest things I have ever read (every time). "

" This book is incredible. It is the first Wodehouse book I've read and I can't wait to start another one. "

" I was concerned that Psmith wouldn't be as good as the Jeeves books, but this was wonderful (although unfortunately lacking in epic bromance). It works very well as a stand alone book, though, so I'm wondering what the others in the Psmith series are like. "

" Read Wodehouse.....you'll thank me. "

" No shame: I'm going to go ahead and admit that I have always meant to read Wodehouse (yeah, I've watched the Fry/Laurie Jeeves and Wooster series too), but I never followed through until after I read E. Lockhart's The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. More to follow! Yay, Wodehouse! "

" If anyone can find a way to cause trouble, it's Psmith of the silent "P." "

" Such a funny and fun book. I checked this copy I read out from the library but I want my own copy now to re-read. "

" Reading this story was much like watching a production of Noises Off - light, fast, and seriously funny. "

" I've *probably* read this? I read a couple Psmith books. You can't go wrong with Wodehouse, but it all tends to mush together into the same book over and over again (hilarious though that book may be) "

" PGW is so good he makes me want to play tennis. Drunk. "

" He's so nonsensical. It's great, light fun. "

" Humorous in the British way of Wodehouse. The audio version had a good reader who had a nice range of voices. "

" screamingly British in the best way. "

" unbelievably hilarious, even for Wodehouse. possibly yhe perfect comic novel. "

" Wodehouse is not for everyone's tastes, but his writing is the most humorous I have ever read. It is always certain to put me in a better frame of mind. "

" My favorite among the pleasures of wodehouse "

" Psmith and Blandings - "across the pale parabola of joy " - priceless. A sojourn in earthly paradise. "

" This is a well written funny novel! Enjoyed the well thought out plot line and wonderful characters. "

" I think Wodehouse is an amazing, entertaining author. This book gave me many laughs. It is a little slow at the start, but worth the wait. The main character Psmith gets into many absolutely hilarious situations and the end even has a few surprises. A delightful read! "

" Maybe the funniest Wodehouse book I've read yet. If I haven't tried to persuade you yet, let me try now: I highly recommend Wodehouse, who is captivating and a fantastically graceful writer, and this book is a great one to start with. "

" So funny, so wonderful, so delightful, so Wodehouse. "

" Though not as lovable as Jeeves and Wooster, Psmith is a worthy hero in his own right and should appeal to fans of the former. In this book, Psmith is hit with Cupid's arrow and must find a way to win his love while also taking part in a jewel heist--al for a worthy cause, of course. "

" So delightful that only Wodehouse's perfect writing would adequately describe it. Wish I could give it 6 stars. "

" Very fun merging of the Psmith and Blandings Castle stories. Great Wodehousian fun. "

" Hilarious novel. A good one to spend free hour on reading. "

" No shame: I'm going to go ahead and admit that I have always meant to read Wodehouse (yeah, I've watched the Fry/Laurie Jeeves and Wooster series too), but I never followed through until after I read E. Lockhart's The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. More to follow! Yay, Wodehouse! "

" so awesome. :)haha "

" Delightful! Always a perfect travel companion :) "

" Possibly Wodehouse's most hysterical novel. The inflappable Psmith, Blandings Castles and more crossed up love affairs then anything Bertie can get into. Absolutely indispensible. "

" Very cute and fun book. Light, fluffy, but clever. This was my first Wodehouse book and I would read another. "

" awesome read! very witty and funny .... its a gem. cant wait to get the next one. "

" My first Wodehouse. Made the man my personal hero, which, now, many, many more Wodehouse novels later, he shall remain. "

" P.G. Wodehouse is a fantastic writer and this book is just as great as the rest. The trouble is, I'm not a huge fan of Psmith as a character. He's a little too ... I don't know what. Maybe I'll have a good descriptor by the time I'm done reading. "

" Oh man, the HUMOR and the WHIMSY! Seriously excellent. I hadn't read any Wodehouse that wasn't of the Jeeves & Wooster variety, so Psmith was something of a revelation. Also, the crazy American scoundrels with their relentless OH GEEs and other amusing and over-the-top 30s slang! Yes please. "

" It is no Jeeves but still lots of laughs. "

" Probably the best Wodehouse when it comes to weaving a plot. This book made it clear his love of Agatha Christie novels in that the smallest mention of something earlier led up to the grand finale--perfect, perfect, perfect! "

" My favorite Wodehouse - just had to be one of his best with Psmith landing at the Blandings Castle. "

" splendid. pitch-perfect. in short, a pippin from first to last! "

" Probably not fair to just give this a three, when most Wodehouse books are virtually identical anyway and I usually give them a four. It just didn't especially delight me or stand out. My mood, maybe? The fact that I was reading an old pocket paperback with awfully yellowed pages? "

" Own. Matt read it aloud to me in the evenings.<br/><br/>Wodehouse at his absolute finest. "

" yes, well, it's Wodewhouse. What else can I say. :) "

" This book was just as entertaining second time around (first read it a few years ago) even though I could kinda remember the plot. Crazy situations and witty dialogue. Reminds me of Arrested Development. Laugh out loud moments. All good in Market Blandings. "

" what a confusing plot! again, true to all british novels, i had to resort to jotting down the family tree or rather the relation ship tree as i proceeded with the story. Confusing and amazing :) "

" One of the greats. Highly amusing! "

" Don't hate me. We are family and friends. Further, being conciliatory I bumped my rating to three stars. I readily admit (like hating Star Wars) it is a flaw on my part. Wodehouse certainly knows how to turn a phrase. An occasional sip is good but he's just not my cup of tea.<br/> "

" Love P.G. Wodehouse!! I don't think I've ever read one that I didn't like and this was no exception. Psmith in particular is very witty. "

" It's Wodehouse, it's Psmith, and it's a humorous con that gets out of hand. What else do you need to know? "

" If anyone can find a way to cause trouble, it's Psmith of the silent &quot;P.&quot; "

" Funny! Giggles bubbled and burst with satisfaction. Ahh! To be like Psmith. "

" I have read this book many times over. It is one of my absolute favorite books. Psmith hits every note perfectly at Blandings and while this same set up has been done many times by Wodehouse, in this book he has mastered the plot and characters. "
