The Girl on the Boat Audiobook

" Lotta fun. This was a notch or two above his norm, which is of course good. Nobody spins a metaphor like this man. From this book, just one will do. His mouth "gaped like a hole in a sliding cliff." "

" Hilarious! A great read. Wodehouse is one of the best. "

" Hilarious and random--elephant guns and electric pianos! "

" Vintage Wodehouse. A beautiful red-haired girl in search of her Galahad. A hypochondriac American in search of a peaceful summer of health and relaxation. And 3 young men in search of the redhead. Only one of the men is right for Billie, the redhead, but she doesn't know it, the others have their persuasive points, and the Atlantic crossing takes 9 days on the slow boat. Charming and easygoing, like a Tanqueray and tonic on a warm summer night. "

" Another free audio book for commuting... Classic PG Wodehouse story of complex relationships, this time three young men smitten by a pretty girl. I enjoy Wodehouse's witty descriptions and sarcasm when writing about wealthy people in the early 1920s. This wasn't one of his best books, but did have some good lines. "

" Not my favorite Wodehouse novel, but still pretty good. "

" Typical Wodehouse romantic romp through comical complications. Gotta love it! "

" P.G. Wodehouse's non-Jeeves stories are often not as entertaining, but this one lives up to his standard! Full of farcical situations, wonderfully comic descriptions and a cast of adorably bumbling characters, it's a delightful romp from start to finish. I enjoyed it immensely. "

" great book... the occasions and situations were too funny... "

" Wodehouse is generally good for many chuckles, but this one seemed to wander too often... "

" Really 3.5. Love me some Wodehouse. "

" I love reading Wodehouse but found this one really slow and boring. "

" it's probably not a good advert for David Mitchell's latest that I broke off in the middle of it and read this instead but hey... "

" Not Wodehouse's best, but still thoroughly entertaining. "

" Honestly, this is a Wodehouse book and should be better, but it is coming to understand what it must be and works. "

" Excellent audio book. Kara is one of Librivox's best readers and her reading lets the humor shine through in this book! "

" Good stuff, always a climax of hilarity before the book ends -- keeps me coming back for more Wodehouse! "

" This was my first Wodehouse book and I enjoyed it. It was a bit long winded in parts but I enjoyed the story for the most part. I look forward to reading some more books by this author. "

" ah...nothing like a book that makes one chortle in a room full of one's teenage children... "

" Good humor ......... my first by Wodehouse....... different type of humor than bill bryson.. "

" Wodehouse is one of my favorites for making me feel intellectual, but not bored to death. He always makes me laugh, and he's British, so I'm being cultured too. Win-win. "

" Is it possibly to call a Wodehouse novel too silly? Every novel by him is always good for some cheer and chuckles, but this one lacked some of his classic excellent character development. "

" Pure fun. Wodehouse's mastery of the English language will be appreciated by all intelligent readers: his use of inventive figurative language is especially delightful. "

" Snarky narrator ridicules the behavoir of the silly characters in this story of young lovers making a mess of their relationships through nonsensical ideas and actions. Indeed, everyone in the story behaves like asses. "

" I read the "Three Men and a Maid" version and of course I enjoyed it...it's Wodehouse. Like a lot of his stories, it's an across-the-Atlantic romance. I think I prefer his earlier works, but it was thoroughly enjoyable. "

" Classic Wodehouse. Everyone is busy doing nothing at all but getting tied up into knots. America, England, heroes and villains and all that rot. "

" Not my favorite Wodehouse novel, but still pretty good. "

" Honestly, this is a Wodehouse book and should be better, but it is coming to understand what it must be and works. "

" I'd give it four stars, if it weren't for the blackface scene. "

" Not Wodehouse's finest, I believe, but still well worth the read. Is there any published Wodehouse not worth the read? One small quibble with this edition. The artist got the color of the lady's bathrobe wrong on the dust jacket. I believe it was blue. "

" Wodehouse is one of my favorites for making me feel intellectual, but not bored to death. He always makes me laugh, and he's British, so I'm being cultured too. Win-win. "
