Something Fresh (Abridged) Audiobook

" Indeed, smth fresh, actually, refreshing! :) "

" not as slapstick as some of his later ones, but adorable. "

" First time I've read Wodehouse---light and fun "

" Probably only a four-star Wodehouse novel, which means that it's better than pretty much any comic novel ever written by anyone else. Written in 1915, still surprising and hilarious almost 100 years later. That's tough to do. "

" Tidbit: in this book, "getting into a groove" means "getting into a rut." Interesting how the language can change in 90 years! :-) "

" Hilarious as only Wodehouse can be I don't know why I don't read more of his books they are always super fun. "

" Starts slow but gets much better. This was my first P G Woodhouse read. It took me three attempts but I finally got far enough along in the book to enjoy it. He's now one of my favorite authors. "

" Made for very interesting reading. Finished it in 2 days flat! "

" I've only read three of his books, and am in the middle of a short story collection; and this has been my favorite one yet. I would love to discover that it had been turned into a play or movie. "

" I read this while studying for the GREs. It was perfect for building my English vocabulary, and funny enough to distract me from my worries for the upcoming test. Wodehouse, you never fail. "

" The first Blandings Castle book is a must read for Wodehouse fans. It contains the usual combination of wry and gut-busting humor. It's not the most memorable of his books though, so 3 stars "

" I've never read any of the Blandings books. Obviously I'm an idiot, because this was wonderful. Damn. "

" Excellent. Finished 11/11/11. "

" Another Plum classic. "what's the good of traveling fast if you're going around in a circle?" "

" The first Blandings book, before their was a plan of there being more. Funny and memorable, but nothing compared to later installments. "

" my first wodehouse. fine enough, very english. "

" I feel a long run on P.G. Wodehouse for me. I'd been listening to some of the Jeeves stories on my ipod, so I checked out a couple of his other books at the library. Superfun. Great for a chuckle. I'm addicted. "

" I found myself smiling the whole way through. "

" I had a hankering to read one of the Blandings Castle books again, and located this one for my Nook. Such a good summer read, classic Wodehouse. NOTE: In the "e-book" world, this book often goes by the title, "Something New". I have no idea why. "

" Great read. Very fun, as usual. "

" Very funny. I laughed out loud a few times. Great little plot. A beautifully written confection. "

" My husband and I are reading Wodehouse again. The Blandings books are his favorites. "

" Thought this one started a little slower and creakier than most Wodehouses (and it's weird to see Blandings Castle in its first appearance, when the characterizations weren't yet as finely honed), but it still ends up being a very entertaining book. "

" Enjoyable for those who like P.G Wodehouse. A bit lengthy. "

" Took me a little while to get into, but once I did I devoured it. The Ashe Marson/Joan Valentine parts were the ones that held my interest the most. "

" Another Plum classic. "what's the good of traveling fast if you're going around in a circle?" "

" Not quite a five star since it does lag in the middle a little, still a very amusing read and a good running start for the Blandings novels. "

" not as slapstick as some of his later ones, but adorable. "

" Tidbit: in this book, "getting into a groove" means "getting into a rut." Interesting how the language can change in 90 years! :-) "

" Great book... the plot develops really interesting till the climax... "

" One of the funniest, pleasurable books I've ever read. And terrific writing on top of everything. Master of his craft. "

" Reading Wodehouse is like watching an intricate parade of curiosities. You laugh, point and clap. And then you do it again. "

" This is a very entertaining introduction to Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle. A great read to start the year with! "

" I feel a long run on P.G. Wodehouse for me. I'd been listening to some of the Jeeves stories on my ipod, so I checked out a couple of his other books at the library. Superfun. Great for a chuckle. I'm addicted. "
