Summer Lightning Audiobook

" Good book for light reading...:) "

" If you haven't read any Wodehouse, you're denying yourself a big treat. This one isn't my favorite, but it was still funny. I kept thinking I had figured out how it was going to end, but the plot had so many twists that it kept me going until the end. "

" What a great read! There are few books that lead me through a riveting tale of unusual antics that make me laugh! I must read more of his books. "

" I should space out my Wodehouse books. The funny diminishes when I read several Wodehouse in succession. Good book, but just too soon after reading a couple of other Wodehouse. "

" Makes me smile just thinking about it. Classic, reliable Wodehouse set at Blandings Castle. Many "LOL" moments. "

" One of his best although they are all so great why quibble? Leave it to Psmith will explain the flowerpot references to anyone who can't bear not to know. "

" Read this before, some thirty years ago I think. All of them are entertaining, but this one is a notch above. "

" Like Edith Wharton crossed with Three's Company. Really quite a good, if a little ridiculous, read. "

" Not as good as leave it to psmith, but he can mold a plot like the best of 'em. "

" Certainly not the best work of Wodehouse. The characters are a bit too mundane. But the plot can still be deemed readable, for some choice situations do tickle the funny bone... indeed. "

" As the inimitable Stephen Fry said: 'You don't analyse such sunlit perfection, you just bask in it's warmth and splendour.' "

" Meh. The Efficient Baxter is always a treat, but Beach is no Jeeves. "

" If I were stuck on a desert island, I would require Wodehouse, Sayers, and sunscreen. Blandings Castle is my Avalon and the Empress is the Holy Grail. "

" Absolutely hilarious! Has a wonderful description of a night-time collision on the stairs in which two suspicious guests unexpectedly try to occupy the same space at the same time... "

" listened to this one on tape while carpooling, hilarious! "

" A classic Wodehouse story, with efficient butlers, young lovers, and stolen pigs. "

" Makes me smile just thinking about it. Classic, reliable Wodehouse set at Blandings Castle. Many "LOL" moments. "

" The third Blandings novel. Classic farce with twisting plots and wonderful similes. Gally writing his memoirs; Empress of Blandings stolen; the Efficient Baxter acting madly; Ronnie Fish and Sue Brown; Percy Pilbeam "investigating" various things; all the wrong people turning up in the wrong place at the wrong time, causing confusion. Great preface by PGW. "

" If you've forgotten (or sadly have never known) what it's like to read something smartly light and funny and delightful give this little piggie a go. "

" Fun and ridiculous, as always. Blandings Castle sounds like a wild place to visit, let alone live. "

" Listened to this driving through France with the family. Great stuff. "

" Fun and ridiculous, as always. Blandings Castle sounds like a wild place to visit, let alone live. "

" Fluffy and fun and at least one really good laugh guaranteed. "

" As always, Wodehouse is delightful! "

" Hugo Carmody has been hired as a secretary at Blandings Castle. When Empress the Pig disappears, Sir Gregory Parsloe is suspected of having abducted her. Lord Emsworth steams. "

" Ok, so I know I said I wouldn't put any more PG Wodehouse books on here, but this is the last one for a while, as I think I'll give them a break. This is another great one, involving many mix ups, false identities, and a pig theft! "

" Read Jan 2012 as well! "

" Reminds me more of Osar Wilde than Wodehouse. "

" I had a jolly good time reading about the mishaps of the Blandings Castle crowd. Such joy in the use of language and such spirited comedy of errors feels to me very fresh today and has picked up my mood considerably. I will make sure to check out more of Wodehouse writings in the future. "

" Ah, Wodehouse at his finest. Whenever I am looking for a jolly read, I turn to good old P.G. and am never disappointed. The complexity of this plot is beyond ridiculous, but it is what makes "Summer Lightning" shine. "

" Wodehouse is a riot. This is my fourth Wodehouse book and I plan to read all of them eventually because they are hilarious. These books are like a wellness prescription. "

" Audiobook. Classic Wodehouse silliness, and the narrator was excellent. "

" Loved it, loved it, loved it! "

" I just can't get enough of Wodehouse's books! He really is the funniest writer ever and the Blandings series sees him at his very best! "

" Fluffy and fun and at least one really good laugh guaranteed. "

" Formulaic, yes, but laugh-out-loud delightful? Yes!! Love the wit of Mr. Wodehouse! "

" A joy! Small but perfectly formed. It had be laughing out loud during the preface, and I was chuckling until the end. Cannot be faulted! "

" As always, Wodehouse is delightful! "

" This is one of my favorite Wodehouse novels. It's the third or fourth time I've read it. "

" This was a great little book. Light reading and easy (3 hours). Lots of characters and the funny prose had me laughing out loud. This was my first wodehouse book. I will be reading more. "

" I'm not a fan of Wodehouse's Blandings books. It seems to me that his typical wit and humor abandoned him in the writing I this series. It is, just altogether, extremely bland. "

" Follows directly on from "Summer Lightning" and keeps up the pace of that story very well. Couldn't quite believe that the loss of a manuscript would be so easily shrugged off by its author but other than that a thoroughly jolly romp "

" Not his best but very funny. It reprises a lot of familiar characters, Lord Emsworth, Lady Constance, the Efficient Baxter etc. It's a late madcap farce. Great fun. "

" I read some of this book. Wodehouse is a wonderfully expressive writer. His style caused me to laugh out loud. I heard excerpts of another of his books that I will add to my reading list. "

" As always, Wodehouse is delicious. I read this book with a constant smile punctuated with regular intervals of LOL's. Highly recommended! "

" I want to live in P.G.'s imagination; a world of ladies and gentlemen where love prevails and everything works out in the end "

" True to Wodehouse, lots of escapades involving losing and gaining and trading fiance(e)s mixed with butlers and pigs. Very enjoyable. "

" First read on Wodehouse. Nice time reading it. "A must read for anyone who has a pig, or an aunty - or a sense of humour." "

" Not quite as goofy as my first Wodehouse (a Jeeves and Wooster novel), but very enjoyable. It's like Jane Austin throwing spit balls from the back of the room. The scene in the restaurant is some of the funniest prose I've ever read. "

" This book was hilarious, well written and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend for those who love British humor. "

" The book I'm reading is called "Fish Preferred," but apparently the two are one and the same, the title differeing depending upon location of publication. It's hilarious! PG Wodehouse was a genius. "
