'Much Obliged, Jeeves' by PG Wodehouse

Better late than never, this could be the expression. I was much eager to read a book by P G Wodehouse. This was to come after a very long time - had once read a chapter from him during the school days. And therefore was waiting for the weekend to come so that I could go to the streets of Churchgate and get a couple of them. I had already got a list of his books, which might be a fraction of actual, from the P G Wodehouse Orkut community. But I was fortunate enough to get one – Much Obliged, Jeeves - from my cousin’s place.

His style of writing really impressed me, wondered how I got too late to board the P G Wodehouse entertainment train, but now once in won’t get down much early. It’s simple, lucid and descriptive. The special ones like ‘….could be the word’ and ‘as the expression goes…’ are too good along with the art of writing ‘a r’ for aged relative. I don’t know “descriptive” could be the word that suits his narration of characters like Wooster’s three aunts, Ginger, Fluorance, Bingley, and not to forget the shrewd, 20 minute egg r (r for Runkle).

The story lingers around the elections of Market Snodsbury. Wooster’s old friend at the Drones club, Mr.Ginger, against his will fights the seat for his fiancée Florance Clarey, a beautiful but a hard to live with lady, who won’t keep the ring if he failed to succeed, as was her past, or custom could be the word, with other candidates in her life. The excitement is kept high till the end and hence the book is worth a read.

Wish to become a member of the club that reads - Everything by P G Wodehouse.
