Summer Lightning (Abridged) Audiobook

" Enjoyable but too predictable. "

" I had to re-read most of this, since I was away from it all summer, and it was hysterical the second time through also! That is high praise indeed. "

" 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. "

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

" 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 "

" 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 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. "

" Another Blandings castle story -- love and misunderstandings among the upper classes. "

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

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

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

" 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! "

" Reminds me more of Osar Wilde than Wodehouse. "

" 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... "

" 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! "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" When you feel like crap, read some Wodehouse. It might be my new philosophy. "

" A very funny book -- I loved the cast of characters and the complexity and hilarity of the plot. I was chuckling throughout. "

" This book is fun! I feel like I am watching a classic movie as I read it. "

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

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

" 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. "

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

" 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. "

" As always, Wodehouse is delightful! "

" 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." "

" I had to re-read most of this, since I was away from it all summer, and it was hysterical the second time through also! That is high praise indeed. "

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

" 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. "

" Reminds me more of Osar Wilde than Wodehouse. "

" 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. "
