Outstanding writing 👌
I just absolutely love the way Wodehouse writes! The analogies are exceptional! The characters are brilliant. Had me laughing out loud so many times.

Pure Rollicking Fun
If you want a bit of fun, this book is for you. The narrator is perfect for the story. I enjoyed this book immensely. It has all the elements that you would expect of a P.G. Wodehouse story. If you like this sort of comedy, you won't regret listening to this. Jonathan Cecil really reflects the class and era of the story's setting. Utterly charming and delightful in every way. I loved it.

Fantastic!
I bought the Frederick Davidson version of this first and thought it was terrible; then I listened to this version and realized what a tremendous difference a good narrator can make. This is a great Blandings Castle story - the first one in the Blandings series, I think - and has great sub-plots and some truly hilarious lines. And Jonathan Cecil - as usual - does a terrific job of reading it.
Makes me wish that Audible would hurry up and get some of the Blandings series dramatizations, actually (Jonathan Cecil appears in the Jeeves dramatizations, incidentally - he's clearly got a good grasp of the tone of Wodehouse material).
Highly recommended.

Lovely
One of the sweeter Wodehousian stories, wherein everyone is paired off with beautiful ease. Excellent narrator. I'm off to add all to my wish list!

Excellent story and performance. Very poor Audible chapter division.
This is a very good story from the Blandings Castle series, and the performance is very good also. However, the Audible chapters do not match the chapters of the story and that degrades the listening experience. The Audible chapters are too long and some include two and a half chapters of the book. That makes the Audible version difficult to use. It’s a pity that a great book and performance is marred by somethinfg so easy to fix. Why can’t the audio chapters division follow rhe book’s division?

something less fresh than pg's standard excellence
this is one of the master humourist's lesser offerings.
it sounds a little stale for those who are avid fans. for first meeters with pg wodehouses, it gives a great introdcution.
