Book Reviews of A Man Of Means: 6 British Humor Classics
Book Review: Money - Only Wodehouse can make it funny when you don't have it!
Summary: 5 Stars
As far as our house is concerned, PG Wodehouse this is the best comic authors ever. It's understandable that Stephen Fry, Douglass Adams, and Hugh Laurie all praise him. In each of his books he brings a smile, a laugh, or even a giggle out loud. This was British comedy before Python, (and while different, the use of wit, satire, etc, makes Wodehouse a master). I used to read this book in university, pretending to listen to some lecture. These great literary treasures need to be discovered again by a new generation. Pass this book to someone who has never heard of Jeeves, Wooster, Psmith, Ukridge, Blandings, or Sally.
Our hero Roland Bleke is a chivalrous and polite young man who more often than not finds himself talked into things against his better judgment. He also finds himself regularly falling for pretty girls, usually totally unsuitable to a man of his quiet and simple temperament, at first sight. Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever.
Make any day better with a enthusiastic portion of Wodehouse's light-hearted legendary fun. Enjoy!
Basically it's a simple and easy choice for you, if you like one Wodehouse story you're going to like them all.
In these economically bleak times its good to invest in a book that will bring happiness to all who read it. Enjoy the hilarious works of Wodehouse - perhaps just what you need!
Summary of A Man Of Means: 6 British Humor Classics
Six wonderful Wodehouse stories that all star Roland Bleke, a young man for whom financial success is always a mixed blessing. At first a poor clerk, he wins a small fortune in a sweepstake, and from then on his every step seems to bring him further wealth. He is, at various times, a stockholder in a booming gold mine, the proprietor of a theatre, owner of a magazine, and the financier of a plot to organize a revolution in a small South American country. Our hero Roland Bleke is a chivalrous and polite young man who more often than not finds himself talked into things against his better judgment. He also finds himself regularly falling for pretty girls, usually totally unsuitable to a man of his quiet and simple temperament, at first sight. Wodehouse is the greatest comic writer ever. -- Douglas Adams Mr. Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. -- Evelyn WaughComic Books
